French Investigators said Wednesday that a French naval vessel may have detected an underwater signal from one of EgyptAir Flight 804's so-called black boxes. 


Specialized locator equipment on board the French vessel La Place detected a signal from the seabed in the Mediterranean Sea, the Egyptian investigative committee said in a statement. 


The signal is "assumed to be from one of the data recorders," the committee said. 


The Airbus A320, which had 66 people aboard, crashed in the Mediterranean on May 19 on a flight from Paris to Cairo. 


Since then, authorities have been searching for wreckage and the plane's flight data and cockpit voice recorders, which could reveal evidence about what caused the crash
