A search is underway for data and voice recorders from an EgyptAir flight that crashed in the Mediterranean Sea last week.
EgyptAir flight 804 crashed Thursday, killing all 66 on board.
On board a US Navy search plane and all eyes are on the sea. For six hours, eleven crew members scan the water for any sign of life or the missing plane.
"So we have a lot of windows around the aircraft, and everybody is looking out the windows. We have a camera on board and we are looking with our camera," said mission commander Lt. John Coughlin.
But on this mission they see nothing that can help. The search for answers is intensifying. Egyptian teams flying over the sea and a robot submarine searching under.
"We have been recovering wreckage, we have been recovering human remains and other parts of the plane," said Egyptian Aviation Minister Sherif Fathy.
But there's no sign the life vests or clothing have helped investigators find the cause of the plane's disappearance.
So the agony deepens for waiting families. For the parents of a young flight attendant. For the father of the pilot who called his son a hero.
Pilot Mohamed Shoukair had been promoted four days before. His voice calm as he talked to air traffic control two hours before the crash.
"EgyptAir 804, thank you so much. Good day, er, good night," said Shoukair.
