good friday morning. we have breaking news. egyptian military officials located debris from the plane. >> the paris to cairo flight vanished shortly after entering egyptian air space. the plane jerked to the left and made a circle to the right before going into the mediterranean sea. >> officials are hoping to get answers. abc is live in london for us. what do we know so far about this debris? >> good morning to you. we're just getting this information coming in from the egyptian armed forces in the form of app statement saying that search and rescue teams have found this morning belongings of the passengers as well as some parts of the wreckage of the plane north of alexandria, off the alexandria coast. search and rescue operations continue in that area.

we understand that military spokesmen also said that other countries are involved in this coordinated search and those include greece, france, the united kingdom, cypress and italy. this is a major rescue operation taking place. but again we have to emphasize that this is coming from the egyptian spokesman from the egyptian armed forces. you'll recall yesterday greek authorities said they had spotted debris in the water but later the egyptian -- egypt air vice president came out saying we stand corrected and that it wasn't part of the plane. today they're saying they have found some but we should be really careful about these reports. this latest statement comes more than 30 hours since that egyptair flight disappeared in the mediterranean. that's the latest we're getting on the search for that egyptair. >> all right. the breaking news update that

debris may have been found from flight 804. >> thank you so much. even the greek radar showed the plane hooking to the left and turning 360 degrees to the right experts aren't convinced that the plane was actually intact at that point. >> aviation consultant steven ganyard explains why. >> we have not seen greek radar data. what we have is the data that showed it 37,000 feet one minute and the next meet it was gone. one idea is it came apart at altitude and what it was seeing was the piece of the airplane as it hit the water. no distress call. it disappears at 37,000 feet suggests something catastrophic happen and perhaps that was a bomb. >> blocks boxes will be critical but even after the wreckage is found experts say it will be hard to find the recorders in the water as deep as 10,000 feet in the assumed crash zone. >> no credible claim of

responsibility. if terrorism is to blame investigators will have to determine if and how a bomb may have been smuggled onboard. >> brian ross has more on airport security and the methods that terrorists are using to bypass screeners. >> security officials say few airports in the world have better security than charles de gaulle in parse. investigators are screening video there fearful a massive failure either in screening luggage or employees may have allowed a bomb to be hidden on the jet. alex marquardt is there. >> after last year's attacks security was beefed up here at france's airports and concerns grew over the tens of thousands of workers. more than 70 of the so called red badges that give access to secure areas were either revoked or not renewed over fears of radicalization. >> al qaeda and isis have a track record of targeting airplanes and airports including the russian jet brought down

over egypt last year. isis claimed explosives hidden in this soda can responsible and officials say it was an airport worker who smuggled it onboard. and now u.s. officials are warning that al qaeda connected terrorists have come up with a new hard to detect bomb hidden in the laptop computers. a laptop bomb blew a hole in this jet killing the suspected terrorist after takeoff from somalia in february. video caught the moment when again two airport workers handed the laptop bomb to the terrorist just before he boarded the plane. and just last weekend officials in somolia discovered seven more laptops constructed as bombs forwarding what they say was a larger plot. brian ross. abc news, new york. >> this morning some airports across the country have stepped up security after the egyptair disaster. >> increased police presence at los angeles international airport and that means the long wait times that have been

frustrating travellers getting longer. but after the crash passengers appear to be more understanding about that. >> i have absolutely no problems flying. they've stepped up security. everything is great. looking forward to my next flight. >> we have certainly not seen any stepping up here. >> we saw a policeman on the grounds. >> you have to wait in line for a while. >> try not to get frustrated, upset, know that people are doing their jobs. >> i would much rather they're that careful and do the necessary checks than something happens. >> for their part, the tsa says they're not changing their screening process because they had already been operating in heightened security since last year when screeners tested by undercover agents failed to detect mock explosives. stay with abc news for the latest on the search for egyptair 804. we'll have live team coverage later on "good morning america." we want to get to the severe weather situation unfolding in louisiana. looking at the radar, you can see the powerful line of storms. new orleans and baton rouge

reckless, dangerous comments. it's not just somebody saying something off the cuff. this is a pattern. it's a pattern that has gone on for months. he's not qualified to be president of the united states. >> you get to the general election. if you're the nominee for your party -- >> i will be the nominee for my party. that is already done in effect. there's no way that i won't be. >> that said, clinton won't say whether she would consider democratic opponent bernie sanders as a potential running mate. she does say sanders needs to step up and help unify the party before the november election. and we're remembering a giant in the world of television news this morning. >> just days after his retirement, legendary cbs news correspondent morley safer has died. safer has been a mainstay on cbs news for more than five decades. filing a total of 919 stories for "60 minutes" since 1971 and earning 12 emmy awards. >> there's no immediate cause of death. he leaves behind his wife of 48
