mediterranean of egyptair flight 0 had and terrorism emerging as the leading theory behind the crash. >> several countries sent planes to scour for the wreckage and more help is on the way. officials said the plane veered wildly before plunging into the sea. >> it was a widely used airbus a320, this particular one made in 2003. the pilot had more than 6,000 hours of flying time and there was no distress call. we're going to get more now from abc's david kerley. >> reporter: the late night flight boarded 56 passengers and ten crew members including three air marshals taking off from paris's charles de gaulle airport at 11:09. near the end of the four-hour flight at 2:30 a.m., the pilots check in with air track control. all is fine as the jet enters egyptian air space at 37,000 feet, cruising altitude. 16 minutes later, the airbus a 320 just drops off radar screens. the greek defense minister says

his country's radar shows the plane erratically turning left, then making a full circle to the right, possibly suggesting the jet was falling out of the sky. at 2:50 the last attempt to contact egyptair 804, no response. egyptian officials admitting the most likely cause of this crash is terror. >> the possibility of having a different action or having a terror attack is higher than the possibility of having a technical failure. >> the jetliner had flown to trouble spots before paris. on tuesday in eritrea, and in tunisia before making the paris to cairo flight. >> if it turns out this is a bomb, yes, you have to look at all the security for all the flights, where did the aircraft come from? what kind of bomb was it? >> hours after the jet disappeared, relatives gathered at airports learning the grim news that no one survived. amidst the grief, relief for this m

that's exactly what's happening again. yesterday there was an announcement that the greeks had found wreckage, then an announcement from the egyptians that wreckage from the plane had indeed been found. late last night an executive from egyptair came out to say we're wrong, there is no wreckage. yet the original statement was still on their website. the information war is on. we are trying to get as many facts as possible. we heard from the minister of civil aviation yesterday who refused to speculate saying he didn't want to delve in conspiracy or hypothesis. he ended the press conference saying it's more likely a terror attack than mechanical failure but giving few details to back that up. >> all right. makes a case like this tough to cover, especially from you on the ground trying to get us the latest. molly, what do you know about what's expected from the search today. >> reporter: again, very little, diane. so the egyptian navy is out in force today. we know the sun is up and planes

out on mediterranean right now. all efforts focused on locating the wreckage. but they failed to give us a specific search area yesterday. all they said was that area will expand. by how much we're not sure. the u.s. and brits have offered to help the egyptian navy here is taking the lead and greece is also out in force with their helicopters standing by, as well. >> molly, back to the scene in cairo where you are. we're taking a look at the facilities there. where are the families being held and any idea what any of them are saying right now? >> families are all staying at an airport hotel. egyptair has said they will host the families for as long as necessary trying to get them the necessary information. again that information flow is very slow. we spoke with families yesterday. their anguish visible, their pain very raw as you would imagine. they're seeking accountability and seeking information and answers that egyptian officials so far have been unable to provide. we were at the airport last night when families came in from

and they were screaming and they were crying. it was very emotional. very intense. right now they're telling us that they know nothing about what's happening in the investigation and they don't know when they'll get any information about the fate of their loved ones. >> wow. >> a tough situation especially for the families in this search for answers. abc's molly hunter live from cairo. thank you for everything you're doing to try to get answers on that end. and do stay with abc news for the latest on the search. we're going to have more ahead on "america this morning" as well as "good morning america." >> the idea that terrorism appears to be the cause of this crash is one issue that has hillary clinton and donald trump finally in agreement. >> but on most everything else, both candidates are lobbing accusations. for the first time, clinton is calling out trump saying he's not qualified to be president. trump is firing back at her and unleashing his most personal attack yet on her husband. abc's tom llamas with details. >> reporter: donald trump

this is a pattern, a pattern that has gone on now for months. he is not qualified to be president of the united states. >> reporter: and in a show of force against senator bernie sanders who's fighting on against the odds, clinton declaring that the race is over. >> so, you get into the general election. if you're the nominee for your party -- >> i will be the nominee for my party, chris. that's already done, in effect. there's no way that i won't be. >> reporter: there is concern that bernie sanders' supports won't support hillary clinton in the general election. but clinton's arguments is that back in 2008, 40% of her supporters said they would not support a then senator barack obama and we all know how that race ended. tom llamas, abc news, new york. a judge is expected to . dlufr a verdict on monday in the case of a baltimore police officer charged in connection with the death of freddie gray. closing arguments wrapped up yesterday. officer edward nero waived his right to a jury trial. he faces a
