it happened around 2:45 cairo time, just vanishing from radar screens. according to officials, the plane was just about ten miles into egypt air space when it disappeared from the radar trackers and it was reportedly flying at an altitude of 37,000 feet at the time. that would be a high cruising altitude. according to egyptair, there were 56 passengers on board that flight including three children. also seven crew members and three security personnel on board on behalf of egyptair. none of the passengers are reportedly american citizens. right now, egyptian armed forces are conducting search operations with a number of planes and naval units and greek military sending in two ships to help. we hope it will be a rescue before it turns into the recovery operation. egypt's military is reporting it has received no message or signal whatsoever from the plane after it disappeared from radar. we are getting some images now of family members of passengers on board that missing flight arriving at charles de gaulle airport overnight. a crisis center has been set up

this flight began in europe and headed to cairo, rather than vice-versa. as for the region when this was first reported and i spoke to you 45 minutes ago, there were some reports it had been ten miles over egyptian land. that's where we had the thought that m this could have been something from the plane. but now it is over the water it makes it less likely. the problem they are having right now, anytime in that region, egypt and libya r talking about them together when you talk to u.s. authority and the gals and guys on the desk that monitor the chatter and intelligence, when you talk to those working right now the intelligence they will tell you they are grouping those two countries together. the reason why is it is basically a wide-open border between the two. you are seeing significant training of terrorists in libya right now. they'll tell you the number one threat to u.s. security is not syria. they believe it is libya and egypt because egypt is a direct link. so there's been this concern. i've seen it built up much more in the last year. when i talk
