'No survivors' in Egyptian plane crash
An Egyptian Boeing 737 airliner has crashed into the Red Sea killing all 148 people on board.
"All people who were aboard the plane are dead," Usama al-Sayid, a senior official with Flash Air, the private company which owned the plane, told reporters on Saturday.
"There were 135 French tourists aboard as well as 13 Egyptians, six of them crew members," said another Flash Air official asking not to be identified.
Flight 8604 disappeared from radar screens shortly after take-off at 02:44 GMT from the Red Sea resort of Sharm al-Shaikh.
"The plane had arrived from Venice with Italian tourists aboard and took off an hour later," the Flash Air official added.
"The aircraft had been due to make a short stopover in Cairo to refuel before continuing to Roissy Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris."
Little Wreckage
Pieces of wreckage from the plane were found in the sea about 15 kms south of the popular beach destination.
"You can see very small pieces of wreckage," Rolf Schmidt,
manager of Sinai Divers Centre, said. "We have not seen any
survivors brought ashore yet," he said, adding that the crash
site could be seen from shore.
In France, Roissy Charles de Gaulle airport officials were comforting a group of people who had been awaiting friends and relatives from the plane.
Ambulances were on hand as the waiting group was ushered onto a bus, and taken to an airport hotel to be given more information on the disaster.
Journalists were kept at a distance by airport staff.
Accident suspected

Aljazeera's correspondent in Egypt said it was unclear if the crash was caused by technical problems.
The plane was maintained either in Egypt or in Norway and did not have a history of technical problems, he added.
Egypt's MENA news agency quoted aviation ministry officials as saying the plane "had probably had an accident."
"Efforts are deployed to recover the victims, the number of the victims or the injured is not yet known," said a statement from the authority.
The last major crash involving an Egyptian plane took place in May 2002, when a Boeing 767 of the state airline EgyptAir crashed near Tunis airport, killing 15 people.
In October 1999, an EgyptAir Boeing 767 dived into the sea off Nantucket, Massachusetts, in the USA killing all 217 people on board.
