thwarting what they say was a much larger plot. neither isis nor al qaeda has claimed responsibility for what happened. and normally they're not shy about taking credit. but still, the working assumption by european and u.s. law enforcement is that this was most likely an act of terror. brian ross, abc news, new york. >> very frightening thought there. we should point out right now it's about daylight starting there in the mediterranean sea. there's a massive search effort that is getting under way at this hour. >> france, egypt, greece, all involved now. >> as well as units from the united kingdom. you see the scene there in paris. that is the counter where so many of those people checked in more than 24 hours ago before that doomed flight. >> egyptair has now changed its logo color from blue to black actually. >> just sort of a sign of mourning. > keep in mind with a massive effort like this and you have several countries involved, a lot of times the communications coming out can get crossed as well.
