Greek State television ERT is broadcasting information that Greek airplanes taking part in search and rescue operations to find EgyptAir A-320 airplane that went missing have found two large orange colored parts believed to belong to the missing plane. The parts were detected 230 nautical miles southwest off the coast of the island of Crete. Similar information is coming out of the Ministry of Maritime and the Greek coast guard. The information was relayed to the Greek authorities by an Egyptian C-295 plane that is also taking part in the search operations. There has still been no official confirmation of the information so far.
