Egyptian Charter Jet Crashes Into Red Sea

CAIRO, Egypt (AP) - A charter airliner with 141 people aboard - mostly French tourists - crashed into the Red Sea shortly after takeoff on Saturday from the resort of Sharm el-Sheikh, officials said. No survivors were reported.

The Boeing 737 jet took off shortly before 5 a.m. (10 p.m. EST Friday) and quickly disappeared from radar about seven miles south of the airport, said airport officials using customary anonymity.

No distress signal was detected, according to officials at Egypt's Ministry of Civil Aviation.
