As investigators pored over the physical remains of EgyptAir Flight 804 on a ship tonight, tapes of the voices of the men who flew the plane have been made public for the first time.
The missing EgyptAir plane was en route to Cairo from Paris when it disappeared early Thursday with 66 aboard. The Airbus A320 lost contact with the radar tracking system at 2:45 a.m. at an altitude of 37,000 feet, according to EgyptAir.

The pilot's words were chillingly mundane.
"Hello, Hello, EgyptaAir 804 flight level 370, squawk number 7624," the
pilot said, according to a recording of the flight deck's communications
with the air traffic control tower early Thursday released by
liveatc.net. "Thank you so much. Good day, have a goodnight."
Minutes later the plane would disappear from radar as it flew over the
Mediterranean Sea. The cause of the disaster is still unknown.
The search for more of the wreckage was ramping up today in its third
day, aided by 24-hour flights by U.S. aircraft using sophisticated
equipment to scan the water.
Ships able to scan the sea floor are also sailing into place to join the
effort to find the jet's black boxes, which could hold valuable clues
to what happened.
