An EgyptAir passenger jet that took off from Paris with 66 people on board suddenly disappeared over the Mediterranean Sea on Thursday morning, shortly before it was due to land in Cairo.

EgyptAir Flight 804 departed Paris at 11:09 p.m. on Wednesday. At 2:26 a.m., the pilot spoke to Greek air traffic controllers, and nothing seemed out of the ordinary, officials said. Three or four minutes later, the plane last made radar contact.

At 2:37 a.m., shortly after entering Egyptian air space, the plane made a 90-degree turn to the left and then a full circle to the right, plunging to 9,000 feet from 37,000 feet and disappearing from radar, the Greek defense minister, Panos Kammenos, said at a news conference Thursday afternoon.

Still missing MH370. Strange huh? Could be aliens.

Apparently they've finally found the wreckage.

 

Seems odd that it's taken this long.
