A massive search is continuing for a second day for an EgyptAir plane that disappeared over the Mediterranean.<\/p>\n
Greek, Egyptian, French and UK military units are taking part in the operation near Greece’s Karpathos island.<\/p>\n
Flight MS804 was en route from Paris to Cairo with 66 passengers and crew when it vanished early on Thursday.<\/p>\n
Greece said radar showed the Airbus A320 had made two sharp turns and dropped more than 25,000ft (7,620m) before plunging into the sea.<\/p>\n
Egypt says the plane was more likely to have been brought down by a terrorist act than a technical fault.<\/p>\n
Most of the people on board Flight MS804 were from Egypt and France. A Briton was also among the passengers.<\/p>\n
So far, no wreckage or debris from the aircraft has been found.<\/p>\n
