EgyptAir MS804: Debris photos released

The Egyptian military has released the first images of debris from doomed EgyptAir flight MS804, as the French aviation safety agency confirmed media reports of smoke in the cabin before the plane crashed into the Mediterranean, killing all 66 people on board, according to Australia`s ABC.
The Wall Street Journal, citing people familiar with the matter, earlier reported that automated warning messages indicated smoke in the nose of the aircraft and an apparent problem with the flight control system, reads the article.
The messages indicated intense smoke in the front portion of the plane, specifically the lavatory and the equipment compartment beneath the cockpit.
The error warnings also indicated the flight control computer malfunctioned, the report said.
CNN also reported smoke alerts on the flight minutes before it crashed, citing an Egyptian source.
On Friday, search teams found wreckage including seats and luggage about 290 kilometres north of Egypt`s coastal city of Alexandria, Egypt`s military said.
The plane disappeared without any distress signal between the Greek island of Karpathos and the Egyptian coast.
It had turned sharply twice in Egyptian airspace before plunging 6,700 meters and vanishing from radar screens, Greek Defence Minister Panos Kammenos said.
