“The crashed A321 Metrojet was only 50 km from the airport in El Arish, where the pilot was about to make an emergency landing, reports the BBC correspondent at the scene of the disaster. This was the 17th flight of this aircraft to Sharm and back over the past week. A source at Sharma Airport said that the first pilot complained several times to the technical service about problems with starting the engines. However, experienced pilots who made comments on TV today said that the plane could easily fly to its destination even with one engine or land at the nearest airport. What happened in the air will be clear after decoding the data from the flight recorders,” Adagamov wrote on his social network page.
“224 dead is the largest air crash in terms of the number of victims in the history of Soviet and Russian passenger aviation. A terrible tragedy,” the blogger noted.
Let us recall, as PolitNavigator reported, The Egyptian affiliate of ISIS claimed responsibility for the plane crash.
