The Russian passenger jet that crashed in Sinai, Egypt, must have been damaged by a force in flight and couldn't have just broken apart, the airline of the ill-fated Airbus A321 said. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has urged an end to speculation until the investigation is complete.

Aleksandr Smirnov, Kolavia fleet supervisor claims the aircraft was broken apart by outside forces.

The entire Russian government calls this premature, and speculation.

I would wonder what the owner’s insurance company has told them about paying out claims.

I would be an act of terror would make them a whole lot less liable than the tail falling off.

My guess is a bomb. But I don’t have a dog in the fight.

Just a guess: we’ll never know the truth.

Just a guess: The Russians will blame it on terrorism no matter what and go all “Ivan the terrible” on anybody they think had anything to do with it.

Terrorism let's the insurance, airline, and maintenance off the hook, while a structural failure puts 'em all on it.

The aircraft passed structural inspection in 2014, but may have been in a tailstrike accident and repaired earlier.

Just like: how did the bomb get on board Pan Am 103?

One of the TV stations showed a quick clip of a pilot’s ex-wife, claiming he’d recently been critical of this “bucket of bolts” airplane.

The newspaper said the aircraft had sustained substantial damage to its tail section in a bad landing in 2001, Maybe it was just a bad repair. Remember never to fly a Russian owned airline and you will be much safer.
Almost everyone in russia is consuming vast quantities of Vodka important things often get overlooked.

Could it be an excuse to go all out against ISIS?

Yes, unfortunately in the age of enemedia, ya can't believe (either way) anything on TV.

I do find it interesting that the EX-wife popped up so quickly (first day).

I’m no expert on these things, but in a chat room, they put a registration number of EI-ETJ which is this plane and it used to be F-OHMP which had a hard hit on landing on its tail in 2001.

The following page is where it seems to be the same plane..

That's the OTHER conspiracy theory, False Flag, and must be investigated as well.

Yes, amid some whistleblower charges that the boom box was walked by security at DEA instructions.

Heard that there are two other airlines that will not fly over that part of the Sinai because of ISIS being in part of it?

The vast quantities of Vodka consumed is actually an important point. The increased consumption of drugs in this country will have a similar negative affect on our national character and production.
