More than 200 people were aboard EgyptAir Flight 990 when it left New York early Sunday morning -- headed for Cairo. The jetliner took off from Kennedy International airport at 1:19 a.m., but disappeared from radar screens about a half-hour later. Initial reports paint an image of a plane out of control.

((sot: Jim Hall/NTSB Chairman))
"The last radar contact in which the airplane provided altitude data was about 36 seconds later. At that time--the airplane had descended to 19-thousand 100 feet ... a very rapid descent."

In Egypt, grieving relatives have gathered at the Cairo Airport ... where an information center has been established. Similar support is being offered to the victims' families here in the u-s.
