Emergency Signal from EgyptAir 804 Detected

Officials searching for EgyptAir Flight 804, which crashed en route from Paris to Cairo last week with 66 people on board, said Thursday that they had detected an emergency signal that could enable them to locate the wreckage.

The investigator leading the search effort, Capt. Ayman Al Moqadem, told Egypt's state-run newspaper Al Ahram that the signal narrows the search radius for the aircraft's fuselage to about 3 miles, according to the Wall Street Journal.
