Tragic first photos of mangled wreckage, victims' personal items from EgyptAir MS804

The first pictures of the mangled wreckage from EgyptAir flight 804 have emerged from the crash site

The plane's twisted blue metal panelling, marked with EgyptAir branding, as well as items of clothing and yellow lift jackets have been recovered from the sea, where investigators continue to search the wreckage.

Egyptian media have also reported that divers have found the blackbox between close to the crash site. The blackbox has yet to be recovered by rescuers but could provide vital clues into what caused the plane to crash just as it entered Egyptian airspace on its journey to Cairo.
