A Russian civilian plane with 217 passengers and 7 crew aboard crashed, and is believed shot down by a missile, over Sinai early Saturday morning, Oct. 31, shortly after taking off from the Sinai resort town of Sharm el-Sheikh for St. Petersburg.
Initial reporting on the fate of the plane was confused and is still not completely clear. It was first reported to be missing after contact was lost with Egyptian air control; it was then said to be safely on its way to Russia over Turkey. Russian aviation sources then reported the A321 to be missing over Cypriot air space.
Finally, the Egytian prime minister's office confirmed that a Russian passenger plane had crashed in central Sinai and a cabinet level crisis committee had been formed to deal with the crash.

These rumors are bullshit. Think about it a bit. A SAM system that can take down a plane at 33,500 feet is huge. It is not some shoulder fired missile that can be put into a box.

My bad. The NSA breaks codes, not the CIA, btw ;)
I wouldn’t be shocked if one or more of the passengers on this Russian airliner ‘knew too much’ about Putin. KGB/FSB Putin has a log history of ‘silencing’ his opponents.
The Russians have fewer problems with scorched-earth destruction as compensation for warlike acts than do we.

The Russians won’t have a problem bombing mosques if they believe that’s where the weapons and muzzie scum are located.
What about just moving one across the border from Libya to Egypt while the Muslim Brotherhood gov. Installed by Obola and the Witch was in power?
The flight was from Sharm El Sheik. I am one of the unfortunate tourists who has gone there and I say it absolutely sucked. I went there some 15 years ago when I was a poor youngster and following the current news about Egypt it must have gotten much worse since then.
Therefore I say it is really likely that only poor people were on this flight.
That doesn't necessarily mean anything.
And, assuming ISIS had a HIMAD SAM site (with trained gunners) the Electronic “footprint” would be huge. Easy to find, fix and destroy...
“If” they have one, that is.
regards,
Not necessarily, but likely. I think anyone rising to the level as being dangerous to Putin would have enough money to not go to Sharm El Sheik. It was really a horrible place and I went there around year ~2000 (before 9/11).
Huge plane crashes happen roughly never, and happening to a major world “macher” (power) means Look For Terrorism. All of this I knew the moment I heard the story begin on the radio news, before I heard over which country it happened. Once I heard that, I suspected this wasn’t an accident.
Why is Obama rushing towards an armed confrontation with the Russians?
Back at Man’s Country he always did prefer older white men. Strange that he seems to be helping old Russian Cold War guys get back to their Glory Days.
Oh, and let me answer your question with a question: whose side do you think he is on?
I traveled to Europe a lot before 9/11 and certain poorer countries clearly had inferior security and inferior everything at their airports or even gates. If it’s a poorly run place, it may the easiest to set up some bad action.
Obama has been surrounded by people loyal to the Soviet Union since he was, literally, in diapers. His "Uncle Frank", Communist Party member Frank Marshall Davis, actually wrote poems glorifying the Soviet "Red Army". Meanwhile, KGB/FSB Putin has openly stated that the *demise* of the Soviet Union was the worst geopolitical catastrophe of the 20th Century. Also that mass-murderer Stalin deserves status in his honor. It is clear as clear can be that he seeks to restore the former Soviet Union, or something very much like it.
Both black boxes found.
Pilot indicated technical difficulties before plane disappeared on radar.
Rest In Peace.
It could be a cover up if it was hit by a missile but I’m surprised we have not seen those in Syria so far. I tend to doubt if it was brought down with a missile or plane-onboard.
Here’s to Putin finishing the job we were too afraid to.
A lot of claims out there...just as likely is that the tail broke off:

(Tail strike repair job in 2001, I haven’t confirmed the repair).
Hot damn! No wonder I’m lonesome.
