"We stand corrected on finding the wreckage," Ahmed Adel, EgyptAir's Vice President, told CNN on Thursday. 

Flight MS804 crashed heading from Paris to Cairo early Thursday morning.

Greek officials initially said they had located pieces of plastic and two life jackets in the Mediterranean Sea, near where a transponder signal from the plane was emitted sometime before it fell off the radar. But that information turned out to be incorrect — Greek officials now say that nothing was found, and that the plane is still considered missing.

There were 66 people on board: 53 adults and three children, plus 10 crew members consisting of three security members, five cabin crew members, the pilot, and the copilot.
