Video and audio broadcasts of news, reaction and search efforts surrounding the Sunday morning crash of EgyptAir Flight 990.
Video: Reports of the disappearance of EgyptAir Flight 990 were broadcast on Egyptian television several hours before the plane had been due to arrive. People soon began gathering at the airport, tense with worry as airline officials kept them at the foot of a staircase below the EgyptAir operations office.
Video: Morning news briefing by the N.Y./N.J. Port Authority Aviation director.
Video: U.S. President Bill Clinton comments on the EgyptAir crash after leaving church Sunday.
"We have no evidence of that at this time, and I think it's better if people draw no conclusions until we know something," Clinton said hours before he was to travel to Norway for Middle East peace talks.
Video: A massive search operation is under way in the deep waters of the Atlantic Ocean in a bid to find bodies and debris from the EgyptAir
crash in which 214 are feared to have died.
