'Homework'
First up, a new clue in the mysterious disappearance of the passenger plane over the Mediterranean Sea. Egypt air flight 804 vanished on May 19th. Several countries have been involved in search for the plane, but so far they’ve found only debris. There’ve been more questions than answers. Yesterday though, investigators said that a French navy ship detected signals from one of the plane’s flight data recorders, with information about the plane’s air speed, altitude, engine status and wind positions. The so-called black box could hold the answers as to what exactly caused the aircraft to crash. And it helps investigators to narrow down the area of the Mediterranean where they’re searching. But the flight recorders only give out signals for about 30 days after they get wet. So officials race against time.
This is a huge breakthrough in the investigation of Egypt air flight 804 which two weeks ago was travelling from Paris to Cairo when it disappeared from radar. There had been a massive search underway. Pieces of debris have been recovered as well as body part. There was a French naval ship Laplace which located the signal from one of the black boxes. They haven’t been able to locate the other black box yet. Another ship will be coming within a week which has sophisticated means to recover the wreckage from the sea floor which could be at 3,000 thousand meters, that 10,000 feet. Once those black boxes are recovered they’ll be analyzed. Hopefully,they haven’t been damaged by the crash. And once they are analyzed here in Cairo, investigators hope they’ll give some insight to what exactly happened on that plane. They are also hoping that with the,with the recovery of the black box, they’ll be able to recover the fuselauge, another clue, another piece of evidence which will help investigators, also for the family. 66 people died in this crash. The families are hoping this news will also help in retrieving their loved ones so they can give them a proper burial. Ian Lee, in Cairo.
U. S. State Department which oversees the country’s foreign affairs is warning Americans about travelling to Europe. It says the large number of tourists who visit the continent over the summer could possibly be targets for terrorists, especially at large public events. We reported it earlier this week how terrorists are trying to sneak in the Europe among the scores of migrants and refugees going there. And a French intelligence official recently told CNN that police don’t think they’ve arrested every one involved in the recent terrorist attacks in Paris, France and Brussels, Belgium.
The US State Department has made it clear that its latest alert is not in response to a new or a specific rather a more general warning to U. S. citizens travelling in Europe about the potential for a terrorist attack on the continent it names, some big events specifically including the Tour de France, the Catholic Church’s World Youth Day in Poland as well as the European Soccer Championship in France known as Euro 2016. Now Euro 2016 has been particularly important one for French authorities considering. Intelligence officials believe that may have been the original target of the terrorism behind the Brussels attack. Then French authorities are really taking no chances when it comes to security preparations for that, employing some 90,000 security personnel just yesterday at the start the France, they held a security exercise, one of dozens of exercises to be held throughout the country designed not only to get security personnel ready for Euro 2016, but also to sway the fears of the public. French authorities have expressed confidence in their preparations security wise for not only the matches to be held in stadium but also the fans on the large outdoors space where fans will be able to enjoy the matches as well. Worth mentioning that French is still under a state of emergency and that has been extended through Euro 2016. The U. S. travel alert is expected to expire August 31st .
