The search for the downed plane entered a second day after the jetliner vanished over the Mediterranean with 66 people on board, 56 passengers and 10 crewmembers.

Egyptian forces located passenger's belongings and parts of the aircraft in the Mediterranean Sea about 180 miles from the Egyptian city of Alexandria.

The plane went down early Thursday morning without warning. Aviation officials say that within 20 minutes of the pilot's last contact with the control tower, the plane vanished from radar.

Many suspect terrorism is likely to blame.

"The possibility of having a different action, of having a terror attack, is higher than having a technical problem," Egyptian Civil Aviation Minister Sharif Fahti said.

If it were terrorism, it would be the second deadly attack in seven months involving Egypt's aviation industry.

Last October, a Russian passenger plane that took off from an Egyptian Red Sea resort crashed in the Sinai, killing all 224 people aboard. Russia said it was brought down by a bomb, and a local branch of ISIS claimed responsibility for the terror attack. (Photo via CBN News)

Thursday's disaster also raises questions about airport security. Western Europe has been on high alert over the deadly Islamic extremist attacks in Paris and at the Brussels airport and subway within the past six months.

French officials say that airport security had been tightened considerably before the attack because of the upcoming European soccer championship that France is hosting.

And in March of last year, a pilot on a German Wings flight deliberately slammed into the French Alps, killing all 150 on board.

Meanwhile, grieving family members of the 66 passengers and crew who perished are seeking answers.

Suheir Behniti, the mother of a child named Maha, said through her tears, "I'm very tired."

Officials say prior to Paris, the jetliner made stops in two terror hotspots and there is concern the attack was an inside job.
