** EgyptAir Crash
------------------------------------------------------------

An EgyptAir jet carrying 66 people from Paris to Cairo abruptly swerved, vanished from radar, and plunged into the Mediterranean early today, shortly before it was scheduled to land. Egyptian officials said wreckage had been found and suggested terrorism was a more likely cause than technical failure. BBC has the latest updates (http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-36333664) .

The New York Times has prepared a set of annotated maps, “The EgyptAir Flight: Moment by Moment.” (http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/05/19/world/europe/egyptair-flight-crash-paris-cairo.html )
