Egyptian aircraft may fall because of explosions in the compartment

The initial analysis of the victims' bodies of the EgyptAir plane crash indicates that there is a possibility that an explosion in the cavity is causing the plane to fall.

According to an unnamed source from the Egyptian-led investigative committee, authorities have so far only found very small parts of the body, not larger than the palm. This indicates that an explosion occurred and ripped off the plane , Australia's AAP news agency reported.

If the plane simply fell into the water, the bodies of the victims would not suffer such great damage, the source added. However, the head of the Egyptian Forensic Authority denied it, saying that the information "had no real basis".

Egyptian aircraft number MS804 carried 66 people from Paris to Cairo on May 19 in the Mediterranean. The plane disappeared from the radar screen when it entered the Egyptian airspace about 16km. Just before the accident, the MS804 was flying at a height of more than 11,000m at almost maximum speed.
