EgyptAir crash wreckage found in Haifa
Two men on a seaside stroll came across wreckage from the May crash; the Foreign Ministry is handling the matter; this is the second time pieces of the plane have wound up in Israel.
Two Haifa residents on their weekly coastal constitutional on Saturday ran into wreckage from EgyptAir Flight 804, which crashed in May. Earlier in the month, wreckage was found on the beach in Netanya.
Dudi Marko and Avi Huber walk five kilometers every Saturday on Haifa's beaches and have been doing so for 30 years. "We saw the piece, and it was obvious that it something unusual," said Marko. "It wasn't part of nature and also not regular trash. When we got closer, I immediately understood that it was a part of the plane."

On June 29, the Egyptian investigation team announced that examination of one of the flight's black boxes indicated that fire broke out on the plane and that one of the pilots attempted to put it out with a fire extinguisher. The investigation thus did not indicate that terrorist activity was responsible for the plane's crash, in which 66 persons perished.
