alexandria in the 1790's is a booming economy. it is a thriving seaport, there is a lot of new construction in town a lot of people are , starting to move to the city. edward stabler moves from leesburg to alexandria in 1792 , and he opens a small shop a couple of doors down from here today. 1805, and that incorporates the building next door into his business and uses that as his warehouse. so an apothecary, in this time period, was where people went to essentially see the doctor. most people did not see a doctor. they went to an apothecary. they would tell them what was wrong, and they would mix up something to help cure what ails them. in the 18th century, doctors were trained generally by university. they would go through a formal set of courses to learn their practice and trade. they would often go and not have their own practice the way we think of that today where we go to a doctor's office. they would go to your house. because they are performing home visits, things were a little more expensive. if you were an average citiz

the plane we understand was en route from alexandria from cairo. current reports say there were about 60 people on board. but all of this is early information so it may change in the hours ahead. many of the details surrounding this incident are still unclear. but let's bring in our correspondent in cairo, ian lee also following this breaking news story. ian what, can you tell us? >> reporter: well, like you said, errol, details are pretty sparse. we're hearing, though, that roughly 80 people were on board this domestic egypt air flight. that was going from cairo to alexandria that it landed in larnaca according to police officials there we're hearing that there is one person, one hijacker although we cannot confirm this. that's the initial report, one hijacker on board. but again, this is -- all very preliminary information. egypt has come under heavy scrutiny for their airport security in sharm el sheikh after last october a bomb blew up a plane, this is just a later blow to them that this plane originated from cairo would have been hijacked. >>

it was en route from alexandria to cairo. it is reported that some 30 to 40 passengers have been released. so we're still trying to get confirmation of that. all of this coming in to cnn by the minute. egypt's civil aviation industry says meanwhile that the pilot was forced to divert the plane by a single hijacker with a suicide belt. some passengers, though, have been freed, ranging from 30 to 40, a precise number not clear yet. we want to bring in ian lee who joins us live from cairo as we cover all of this. it's still a breaking story. we don't know who the hijacker may be, but bring us up to date on any new information you've been able to gather. >> reporter: well, we're seeing right now on egypt's air's official twitter account, saying that negotiations are under way with the hijacker. that resulted in all the egyptian passengers being released, except for the cabin crew and foreigners. now unsure how many foreigners that is at this moment. that are on that plane. but what egyptair is tweeting right now is that all the e

this domestic airline that was scheduled to go from alexandria to cairo. but was forced to divert its flight path and land in cyprus instead. and the fact that we are hearing also from the president of cyprus who said that this is not -- repeat not a terrorism case, but it is now -- that's leading us to confirm that it does appear to be a case of a domestic issue. the reports that this person had thrown a letter from the plane on to the tarmac, maybe that is one way that authorities got information about this person being interested in speaking with his ex-wife who we understand is from cyprus. and now what they're doing is negotiating with him, to see if they can bring this to a peaceful resolution. but the majority of the people have been taken off the plane. in terms of passengers we know that according to the egypt civil aviation authority one person on the plane was a security person. is that security person still on board, it is unclear. if that person is on board, are they able to help authorities in terms of negotiating this person to release the r

it was initially from alexandria to cairo in egypt around 8:00 a.m. their time. and then about 8:46 it landed in cyprus because of fact there was someone on board demanding this plane would be under his control and would land in cyprus and you aring looking at that plane right now. our middle east expert is here to add insight in terms of what might be happening. a crisis team is there. as he was explaining before i interrupted him to give you an update, the crisis team was told to move away from the plane and it might show the gunman or the man armed with the suicide vest is demanding control of the plane and of the situation. >> yes, absolutely. going to the point of the one or more than one individual are asking to create a security space around the plane. they must have reviewed so many spaces and if you avow to the plane it becomes an area to seize the plane from the hijackers. they know what they are doing and they are making sure they are observing that space. more or less give us some sort of indication that they are able to observe. they are coming too c

it was en route from alexandria to cairo. it was diverted to cyprus. it landed safely at larnaca airport. now several foreigners and seven-member crew remain on board. the egyptair ministry says there were 20 non egyptians. we do not know the nationalities of those still on the plane as negotiations with the hijacker continue. the motive related to this is the hijacker's ex-wife. not terrorism. i want to bring in cnn's ian lee. he has been following the story as it has unfolded from cairo. ian, tell us what we know about the hijacker and what appears to be the motive for taking command of this flight. >> reporter: this basically the facts we have at this hour. this plane took off at 6:30 a.m. it was going from alexandria to here in cairo. that is about a 45-minute flight. during the flight, a man said he had an explosive belt and demanded that the pilot divert to somewhere in europe or istanbul. somewhere other than the final destination. this is according to the officials. the pilot said he did not have enough fuel and they landed in larnaca. after wh

i can tell you about alexandria airport where this flight originally took off. it is one of the smaller airports in cairo. but there has been a lot of beefed up security in general across the egyptian airports, particularly following the plane that was downed in sharm el sheikh. and for now, it's not clear whether in fact as rehema was saying that this individual did actually manage to get any explosives on the plane. since that incident back in october in which isis claimed responsibility for planting a bomb on a jet, security has been beefed up. but we do know in the past there have been serious security gaps not just in some of the smaller airports, but as well as some of the larger and busier airports. alexandria being egypt's second largest city, there's question of whether or not if he did get some explosives on the plane, how he managed to do that. if he was working with anyone at the airport. at this statement, that's no confirmation that he was in fact capable of doing that. >> andam one more question, you mentioned that security has been peefed up sinc

this was a routine flight, a short trip from alexandria to cairo. the flight takes around 30 minutes. some point in that flight one of the passengers on board told the flight clue crue he had explosives on, a suicide vest and the flight was diverted across the mediterranean and landed at larnaca. once on the ground, negotiations began to release almost all of the passengers. it's still not clear what motives lay behind this hijacking. the cyprus president said it's nothing to do with terrorism and a high-level source told nbc news that the hijacker's motives seem to be a personal matter involving a woman and the hijacker asked to speak to someone, possibly his ex-wife. what we know is there are still around eight people on board that plane. most of the passengers are off. but around eight people are still on board. that consists of the crew and three passengers who are believed to be nonegyptians. they are foreigners, we don't know their nationality, but they're still on board the plane at this hour. it all comes after security at egypt's airports w
