CAIRO, Egypt (Reuters) - Little wreckage could be seen in the Red Sea where an Egyptian passenger plane crashed on Saturday and no survivors have yet been brought to shore, a witness said.


"You can see very small pieces of wreckage," Rolf Schmidt, manager of Sinai Divers center, said. "We have not seen any survivors brought ashore yet," he said, adding that the crash site could be seen from shore.


An aviation ministry source said the Boeing 737 airliner crashed into the Red Sea after take-off from the resort of Sharm el-Sheikh, killing all 135 passengers and six crew.


Schmidt said helicopters were hovering over the site and about 10 boats were involved in the rescue operation.
