The Airbus A320 (pictured, top right, on a previous flight) left the French capital's Charles De Gaulle Airport at 11.09pm local time (9.09pm GMT) last night and then vanished off radar 10 miles into Egyptian airspace over the Mediterranean Sea (bottom right) at around 00.30am GMT. There were 56 passengers, including two infants and a child, and 10 crew on the flight. The breakdown of the nationalities included 30 Egyptians, 15 French, one British, one Belgian, one Iraqi, one Kuwaiti, one Saudi Arabian, one Chadian, one Portuguese, one Algerian and one Canadian. A captain on board a merchant ship reported seeing a 'flame in the sky' while a French security official said a terror attack could not be ruled out. The flight was the aircraft's fifth of the day, having also flown to the Eritrean capital of Asmara, the Tunisian capital Tunis and Belgium. At Cairo International Airport, where the jet was due to land, devastated relatives of passengers wept and comforted each other (left) as they waited for news on their loved ones.
