Egypts sinai peninsula. The white house also today said it is now considering security changes for some International Flights coming into the u. S. So far, only the u. S. And britain have publically raised the possibility that the crash was an act of terror, with russia and egypt saying its too soon to know. Conflicting information thats bringing little comfort to air travelers. Tonight, our team is on the ground where the doomed flight began. Bill neely leads our coverage. Reporter they found no evidence of a bomb, but the president believes terrorism could have caused this. I think there is a possibility that there was a bomb on board. And were taking that very seriously. Reporter if a bomb was the cause, it was almost certainly put on the plane here at Sharm Elsheik airport. They questioned security, seized egypt says this is one of the safest airports in the world checked regularly by western expert whose found no gaffes in security this year and gave it the allclear, but the head of the airport has just been fired. Investigators found worker werent being checked properly, leaving the russian plane perhaps vulnerable. The airbus was on the ground here for an hour. In that time, cleaners, caterers and baggage loaders were in it or beside it. Police and maintenance crews had access to the plane with minimal checks in pitch darkness before it took off, exploding around 20 minutes later. We cannot be certain that the brought down by a terrorist bomb, but it looks increasingly like it. Reporter intelligence Officials Say known isis supporters were heard talking about downing the plane just after it crashed. Isis has claimed the attack twice. Egypts president in britain today doesnt agree, believing the bomb theory isnt based on fact. Britain is flying its tourists out of egypt, so worried its not allowing them to check in bags. Russians returning to the city where most passengers were from. Their deaths still unexplained. No one is ruling out technical fault. Russia, like egypt, is kicking against the bomb theory saying leave it to the investigators. Lester . Bill neely in egypt. Thanks. Rightht now, it would appear to be gathered intelligence that raised american suspicions that the plane was blown from the sky, but physical evidence will ultimately tell us if it was a bomb and where it was planted. Was it in the cabin . A piece of luggage . Maybe a drink cart. Our tom costello reports how investigators are trying to piece together clues as the u. S. , meantime, considers new security measures for certain flights bound for the u. S. Reporter tonight, the possibility that terrorists smuggled a bomb on to the metrojet plane has u. S. Homeland security considering new screening procedures for u. S. Bound flights originating overseas. Currently the Obama Administration is reviewing a number of different steps we can take to enhance security for bound to the United States from certain foreign airports. Reporter veteran investigators say if it was a bomb, there should be forensic clues. Pitted or stretched metal surfaces, soot residue or scorch marks and signs of hot gas streaking across the planes skin. You want to look for passengers with a lot of shrapnel in a particular area or a lot of shrapneltype damage in a particular area of the airplane. Reporter holes punching out through the fuselage, but what caused the explosion . On a separate tail section, no obvious scorch marks. 19 years ago, investigators found no explosive evidence while examining the wreckage of twa 800. They later determined static electricity had set off an explosion in the center fuel tank, but in the pan am 103 investigation, a tiny Circuit Board fragment was the clue to determining a bomb had gone off in the cargo hold. The devastating consequences of a bomb demonstrated by this faa test video. The damage catastrophic. So was it a bomb that brought down metrojet . Without an analysis of the forensic evidence, its almost impossible to say if this was terrorism, a bomb plot, a missile or anything of the sort. Reporter many experts say its very possible the crash was caused by a mechanical failure, perhaps metal fatigue. U. S. Airlines do not fly into, out of or over the sinai but do fly in and out of cairo. If Homeland Security requires increased security overseas, its possible that could apply to passengers, luggage tom costello in washington. Thank you.
