EgyptAir wreckage found

 Updated -EgyptAir Flight 804 from Paris to Cairo disappeared from radar Thursday morning over the Mediterranean Sea with 66 people on board. Here's what we know so far:
-- The plane's wreckage has been found, EgyptAir Vice President Ahmed Adel said in an exclusive interview with CNN's Christiane Amanpour.
-- The cause of the plane's disappearance is more likely terrorism than a technical issue, Egypt's civil aviation minister said.
-- U.S. government officials have an initial theory that a bomb took down the plane. Officials said the theory could change, with one senior administration official cautioning it is not yet supported by a "smoking gun."
-- Greek air traffic control tried to reach the Airbus A320's pilots about two minutes before it disappeared -- but got no response.
 
-- As the plane left Greek airspace for Egyptian airspace, it swerved sharply and plunged from 37,000 feet down to the Mediterranean, Greece says.
