Islander missing after EgyptAir plane disaster

Richard Osman, a geologist who worked for Centamin mining company, was reportedly on the flight, which disappeared ten minutes after it entered Egyptian airspace.

The plane, which had been travelling from Paris to Cairo with 66 people on board, swerved wildly in flight before crashing on Thursday morning, with some officials saying it may have been brought down by terrorists.

There are not believed to be any survivors of the crash and several hours later, Egypt’s Civil Aviation Ministry said life jackets, plastic items and other floating objects had been found in the area where the plane went down.
