EgyptAir black box signal detected: French investigators

A signal has been detected from one of two black boxes belonging to the doomed EgyptAir flight that crashed en route from Paris to Cairo on May 19, French investigators confirmed Wednesday.

"The signal from a beacon from a flight recorder has been detected" by navy vessel Laplace, said Remi Jouty of France's Bureau of Investigations and Analysis, following an announcement from Egyptian authorities that the signal had probably been picked up.
