EgyptAir remains point to explosion - forensics
Human remains retrieved from the crashed EgyptAir flight suggest that there was an explosion on board the plane, although no traces of explosives have been detected, an Egyptian forensics official said. The official based his assessment on the small size of body parts so far recovered. “The size of the remains points towards an explosion, the biggest part was the size of a palm,” the forensics official said, adding that about 23 bags of body parts had been collected since Sunday. However, another senior forensics official said only a tiny number of remains had arrived so far and it was too early to specify whether there had been an explosion on-board. French investigators say the plane sent a series of warnings indicating that smoke had been detected on board as well as other possible computer faults shortly before it disappeared. <br/>
