Signals have been detected from one of the black boxes of the EgyptAir plane that crashed last month. French investigators confirmed they were picked up by the French vessel Laplace as it was searching the Mediterranean Sea.
There were 66 people on board when the Airbus A320 crashed on 19 May while flying from Paris to Cairo. It vanished from Greek and Egyptian radar screens, apparently without having sent a distress call.
Egyptian investigators first reported that the French vessels had picked up signals from the wreckage search area, saying they were assumed to be from one of the devices.
