It seems unlikely that IS did this; just being opportunists.
God bless the survivors of this horrendous crash.

WADI Al-ZOLOMAT (Egypt) (AFP) - A Russian plane that crashed in Egypt broke up "in the air" strewing fragments across a wide area, an expert said Sunday, as investigators probed the disaster that killed all 224 people on board. President Abdel Fattah al-Sissi urged patience to determine the cause of Saturday's crash, after the Islamic State jihadist group claimed it brought down the A-321 in Egypt's restive Sinai Peninsula. Russian plane broke up in the air, says expert as crash probed Last edited Sun Nov 1, 2015 "The disintegration happened in the air and the fragments are strewn over a large area," said Viktor Sorochenko, a senior official with Russia's Interstate Aviation Committee, quoted by the Russian news agency RIA-Novosti from Cairo. Sorochenko, who is heading an international panel of experts, said it was "too early to draw conclusions" about what caused the Sharm el-Sheikh to Saint Petersburg flight to go down. Russian officials say they need to comb through an area of about 16 square kilometres (six square miles) in the Sinai Peninsula.

Sounds like a bomb or a missile is more likely, because that would cause a plane to break apart in mid-air. I hope the black boxes will be recovered. |

CNN Sunday Nov. 1, 2015 Excerpt: Russian media outlets said that the pilot reported technical problems and requested a landing at the nearest airport before the plane went missing, but Egyptian authorities disputed that claim.Air traffic control recordings don't show any distress calls, Egyptian Civil Aviation Minister Hossam Kamel said at a news conference. "There was nothing abnormal before the plane crash," he said. "It suddenly disappeared from the radar." www.cnn.com/2015/11/01/middleeast/egypt-sinai-russian-plane-crash/ |

...............Do you'll remember the almost new 777-xxx that had the left engine catch on fire at the Vegas airport ? Well , that engine was one of the GE , new generation Hi thrust engines that uses a Carbon fiber main turbine blade ! The unbelievable volume of Black smoke and heat was the main turbine blade burning itself UP , which also , burned completely through the lower portion of the main body of the plane , even though the engine was a few feet out on the left wing . ...............Had that fire occurred about 10 minutes into the flight , that fire would probably have consumed a major portion of the plane before it could turn around and land . Engines that use a metal main turbine blade , don't , normally , burn themselves UP like that engine did . , fordy |

Sinai plane crash: 'External activity' caused crash
The Russian airline Kogalymavia has blamed "external activity" for Saturday's Sinai plane crash which killed 224 people. One airline official said: "The only reasonable explanation is that it was external activity." An investigation by aviation experts using data from the aircraft's "black boxes" has yet to give its conclusions. A Kremlin spokesman has told the BBC terrorism could not be ruled out as a possible cause of the crash. www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-34697416Very interesting.

Terrifying final moments of doomed Russian
jet: Plane lurched up and down then
passengers were sucked out in their seats after
´external impact´ blew jet apart, flight data reveals
Daily Mail (UK), by Tom Kelly
A doomed Russian passenger jet lurched up and down before plunging 31,000 feet after being blown apart by an ‘external impact’, airline bosses have revealed.
Travellers still strapped in their seats were sucked from the stricken Airbus A321 through a hole at the back of the jet when the tail blew off 23 minutes after leaving the Egyptian Red Sea resort of Sharm El Sheikh, it was claimed.
The plane twice abruptly climbed nearly 3,000 feet in three seconds before falling 3,000 feet moments later in the final minutes before disappearing from radar, crashing in the Sinai peninsula with the loss of all 224 passengers and crew.
The news comes as US officials claim an American infra-red satellite detected a heat flash on the route the aircraft was taking seconds before the plane fell from the sky, suggesting there was some sort of explosion on board.

I pray these poor victims were unconscious and knew nothing. If this is the work of Isis come on world sort them out and quick, before there is another 9/ 11 or worse.
