Egypt is deploying a submarine to search for the main wreckage of EgyptAir Flight 804, which could be as deep as 10,000 feet below the surface of the Mediterranean. Searchers found pieces of EgyptAir Flight 804 in theMediterranean Sea along with human remains, officials said Friday. Seats and passenger belongings also were found 180 miles north of Alexandria, Egypt, according to news reports. French officials also confirmed that the aircraft sent an ACARS message reporting smoke in a lavatory and in the avionics bay about the time the aircraft went missing. Crews from multiple countries continue to take part in the search for the Airbus A320 that crashed early Thursday en route from Paris to Cairo with 66 people on board. Friday's announcement from Greek and Egyptian officials comes after retracting statements made the day before that the wreckage had been found.
