Have any idea what caused the crash . The short answer to that is, no. Speculation centered on mechanical and technical problem, the copilots daughter has said that her father told her even before the plane took off that the pilots were concerned there was a problem. The plane took off in early hours of the morning, when it reached 31,000 feet and 400 noters the pilot called air Traffic Controllers said he had a technical problem and wanted to make an Emergency Landing then flight traffic shows that the plane dropped about 3,000 feet to 28,000 and slowed from 400 to 93 knots then all contact was lost. Now, immediately following that, the affiliate offered here claimed that they brought the plane down killing what they called russian crusaders as pay back for russian involvement in syria. However, that group is known to have missiles that are only capable of going 20,000 feet. What they cannot rule out is possibility of a woman. Interestingly, the search area has now been widened.

The debris is spread over eight square miles. Egyptian Officials Say a body of a child had been found five miles from the main wreckage. There is every indication the destruction occurred in the air, Russian Federal aviation head alexander nuretko said, at a high altitude. More than 100 Russian Emergency workers have been sent to help to the sinai to help in the search for victims and examine debris. The detailed investigation will involve french, russian, egyptian and other officials, according to strict international rules. One theory is the plane may have suffered structural failure. Under a previous ownership the airbus hit the runway at cairo tailfirst in 2001 and could have reached a critical point of weakness even though it underwent many inspections. The extent of the debris field has focused attention on a claim of responsibility by an i. S. Affiliate. The group is known to have surfacetoair missiles but their effective range is 10,000 feet. For some months, a number of airlin

Claims that turn out to be wrong. I dont put a lot of stock in the claim of credibility at this point. Is it at all realistic to believe that a surfacetoair missile could hit a plane at that altitude . I dont think so. The type of air Defense Systems that can reach 30,000 feet are either fixed or theyre mobile on trucks. Its my understanding that this particular isis group does not have that kind of capability. They have some surfacetoair missiles, some manned pads that are portable. Those kind of systems cant reach that altitude. A number of airlines saying theyre not going to fly over this area. What are we to make of that . I think its prudence. Right . We dont know what happened here. As long as we dont know what happened, its probably prudent to avoid the area.
