Unusual sounds were emitted from the plane that crashed in the Sinai Peninsula last week, according to a transcript of the cockpit recording obtained by the Russian news agency Interfax.
An international investigation into the cause of the crash is currently underway and investigators are analysing the two flight data recorders for vital information about the last few moments of the flight.
Interfax reports that it has obtained a transcript of one of the recordings, though this has not yet been independently verified. An unnamed source quoted by the agency said "sounds uncharacteristic of routine flight were recorded preceding the moment that the aircraft disappeared from radar screens".
The recording suggested that the situation had developed "suddenly and unexpectedly" and no mayday call was issued, the source added, according to The Guardian.
There is growing confusion around the cause of the tragedy, with various lines of inquiry being investigated by Egyptian and Russian authorities.
Russia is yet to rule out the possibility of a terrorist attack, but Egypt's president Abdul Fattah al-Sisi today dismissed claims that militants linked to Islamic State brought down the plane as "propaganda".
Were the sounds, Ka-boom” or “Allah Hu Akbar” and then, “Ka-boom”?
Al-loo-a-hack-bagh?
Could be pilot/copilot sabbatoge. One of them seized controls and maneuvered aircraft in a way that broke it up. The sounds could have been a struggle or stabbing.
But I did hear this aircraft had experienced serious tail damage in a prior incident so mechanical failure remains the most likely cause.
That and the Kenyan
Wasn’t there a Nicholas Sparks novel called ‘The Pilot’s Wife’ where a bomb was hidden in the captain’s flight bag by his mistress, unbeknownst to him?
The sounds of metal and bending and tearing?
Bath house to heaven....?
Any “goat” sounds?
Now mind you I am just spek-u-laten’.
:-)
ahah Great Minds Think Alike..
Years back there was a B747 with a repaired pressure patch in the tail section that failed. Plane disintegrated. It was determined that it was a bad repair job.
But what a way to go...
The nature of passengers’ injuries from the Russian jet that crashed in Egypt’s Sinai on Saturday may indicate that an explosion took place aboard before the plane hit the ground, an Egyptian doctor who examined the bodies said, Sputnik news agency reported.
"A large number of body parts may indicate that a powerful explosion took place aboard the plane before it hit the ground," an Egyptian forensic expert told the agency.
Couldn't be that in this case because it was an Aeroflot plane, known to be always well maintained. ;-D
Wanna bet the goats’ name was Billy?
I’m just saying.....
:-)
Definitely no Nanny-cam present...
The JAL crash. US repair crew did a bad job. The tail was found separate from the plane. Just as in this case. Which, unfortunately doesn’t rule out an onboard explosion.
:-)
Metrojet, not Aeroflot. But I get your point.
That suggests an explosion in, or from, the aircraft.
Very strange that we would reveal that information, given that a short investigation will answer the questions.
