Astra. Posted October 31, 2015 #4 Share Posted October 31, 2015 From link - The authority added that the aircraft failed to make scheduled contact with Cyprus air traffic control 23 minutes after take-off and disappeared from the radar.

bmk1245 Posted October 31, 2015 Author #5 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Few bits from various Russian media: crew reported having problems with one of the engines long before this flight; before disappearance crew reported problem with transmitter; at some point plane started to descend at 6000 ft/min... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still Waters Posted October 31, 2015 #8 Share Posted October 31, 2015 It's hard to imagine how anyone could still be alive. Voices have been heard inside the wreckage of the Russian passenger plane which crashed over central Sinai with 224 people on board, according to Egyptian search and rescue officials.An officer at the scene, who requested anonymity, told news agency Reuters: "...We hope to find survivors especially after hearing pained voices of people inside." http://news.sky.com/...reckage-reports 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashotep Posted October 31, 2015 #9 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Very sad indeed. If there are some people still alive they need to get on it and get them out. I doubt this was anything more than a tragic accident. I wouldn't be surprised if the conspiracy theorists jump on this one. Revenge for shooting down the jet over Ukraine. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats the scary part. If they DID have that technology where did it come from and how is Russia gonna take it. Leaked documents show ISIS was created by the US and Israel, Russia has basically already accused the US of funding ISIS.

If it were a Payne Stewart type decompression (which i am assuming you are referring to by losing consciousness) the aircraft would have continued on its flight path until it ran out of fuel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Wearer of Hats Posted November 1, 2015 #22 Share Posted November 1, 2015 They want the Russians to fear them. Psychological warfare. I assume then they've never actually met a Russia. It might MIGHT work on another nation, all this is going to do is p*** the Russians off. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets see what weapons ISIS have in their hands -> Weapons of ISIS/ISIL. And there it is - soviet made SAM SA-6 (predecessor of Buk system)...BTW, Russians are fighting ISIL and other anti-Assad groups with the help of islamists/jihadists... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pallidin Posted November 1, 2015 #24 Share Posted November 1, 2015 (edited) It should be noted that there were issues with the technical integrity of the flight before it took-off, according to the co-pilot communications. Given such, the aircraft apparently experienced some type of critical emergency in-flight, and made way to the nearest airport to land. Something happened upon their controlled descent. Edit: R.I.P. to all on-board. What a tragic end to a vacation, and with 17 children caught-up in the disaster. Dang.
