Egyptair just posted on their Twitter that MS804 performing CDG to CAI has been reported missing from radar and that the situation will be updated when possible.

Just got the CNN blurb on my phone as well. FR24 has it last reported over the Med: https://www.flightradar24.com/data/f...ms804/#9c0b766

You can view the planefinder.net playback of the flight.

The flight appears to just vanish shortly after flying close to Crete and leaving Greek airspace.

CNN in the USA is focusing on it now. They've called up their usual aviation team.

From some sources:
Airbus A320-232 equipment.
"The plane was at 37,000 ft and disappeared 80 miles (around 10 minutes) before entering Egyptian airspace."

An expert is suggesting from the data that there was a security breach and midair explosion.
ADDED: It left Paris around 11 pm local time. Contact was lost about twenty minutes before the expected landing time at Cairo. It's now been missing about three hours.
