Russian plane crash in Egypt

Kogalymavia Flight 9268 broke into pieces before it hit the ground in a remote area of Egypt's Sinai Peninsula on Saturday, killing all 224 people on board. The plane was on its way from the Egyptian resort of Sharm el-Sheikh to St. Petersburg early Saturday when it dropped off radar about 23 minutes into the flight. The plane's flight and voice data recorders had been recovered, but they have not been read or decoded yet. Officials have played down an apparent claim by Islamic militants that they brought down the plane, saying technical failure is the most likely reason for the crash. But so far, they haven't been able to give a definitive explanation of what happened, with the Egyptian President suggesting investigations could take months.
