i'm kendis gibson. >> and i'm diane macedo. we begin with the search for answers in that crash of egyptair flight 804. more than 24 hours after it disappeared, there's still no sign of wreckage. >> officials do believe that terrorism is the likely cause. the airbus a320 was nearing the end of its flight from paris to cairo when it suddenly spun around and plunged into the mediterranean sea below. grieving family members have been waiting at the airport in cairo desperate for information but getting conflicting reports. we get the latest now from abc's kenneth moton. >> in the mediterranean sea, the all out search continues for egyptair ms 804. so does the mystery of what happened to the doomed flight from paris to cairo. the possibility of having a different action or having a terror attack is higher than the possibility of having a technical. >> this is video of the airbus a-320. the night had 56. near the end

flight and a half hour before landing in cairo, it vanished. the greek defense minister says his country's radar showed the plane erratically terning left and making a circle to the right. the jet line her flowntom terror spots before paris. >> if it turns out this is a bomb you have to look at the security for all the flights. >> a u.s. military aircraft is helping in the search and tsa remains on high alert for u.s.-bound international flights. >> flights that the originalnate from charles de gaulle bound for the united states are subject to additional screening. american passengers can take confidence from that. but the emotional roller coaster continues for the victims' families. earlier reports from egyptian government officials that wreckage had been found were false. this man changed his flight or he would have been on ms-804. >> i am really lucky, he said. the fbi and white house are monitoring the situation. we're told.s

images and the backgrounds of all on board that flight. kendis and diane. >> thanks to kenneth there. so far, there is no credible claim of responsibility, but if terrorism is to blame, investigators will have to determine if and how a bomb smuggled on to this jet. >> busy an's brian ross has more upon airport security and the methods some terrorists are using to bypass screeners. >> reporter: security officials say few airports in the world have better security than charles de gaulle in paris. but investigators are screening surveillance video there fearful a massive failure either in screening luggage or screening airport employees may have allowed a bomb to be hidden on the egyptair jet. abc's alex marquardt is there. >> reporter: after last year's paris 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 revoked or not renewed because of fears of

radicalization. >> reporter: al qaeda and isis have a long 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 were 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 laptop computers. a laptop bomb blew a hole in this jet, killing the suspected terrorist, after takeoff from somalia in february. surveillance video caught the moment when, again, two airport workers handed the laptop bomb to the terrorist, just before he boarded the plane. >> if you can mold the explosive so that it just looks like another part of the laptop, it's very difficult for a screener who is only using x-ray to detect that explosive material. >> reporter: and just last weekend, officials in somalia discovered seven more laptops

being constructed as bombs, 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

election if you're the nominee for your party >> i will be the nominee for my party. that is already done in effect. there is no way i won't be. >> trump is lashing back at hillary's assessment saying he's not qualified to be president saying she's the run unfit for the role. he cited her responses to recent terror attacks saying just like president obama, she refuses to acknowledge or use the term radical islamic terrorism. >> the company which owned the an error rare movie theater is not liable for that attack. jurors deliberated before, 27 family members who lost loved ones sued claiming security was lack. a separate suit in federal court is still pending. james holmes is serving a life sentence for that shooting. this morning a bridge collapse new under investigation. it happened after a tractor-trailer carrying a boom lift struck the br
