Flight MS804 plunged into the Mediterranean sea in May killing all 66 people on boardExperts investigating the EgyptAir plane crash in May need more time to analyse and match the information gathered before they can reach "very basic conclusions", the Egyptian-led investigative committee said. The committee had said Saturday that the memory chips of EgyptAir MS804's black box voice recorder are intact and investigators should be able to access them. The Airbus A320 plunged into the Mediterranean sea on May 19 while heading to Cairo from Paris, killing all 66 people on board. The plane was carrying 40 Egyptians, 15 French, two Iraqis, two Canadians and one passenger each from Algeria, Belgium, Britain, Chad, Portugal, Saudi Arabia and Sudan. Investigators recently said that the plane's wreckage showed signs of fire while the data recorder confirmed smoke alarms had been activated.
