Reports just coming in have it that a Russian airliner has crashed in the Egyptian central Sinai with about 271 passengers and seven crew members on board. Confirming this to BBC was the office of Egypt’s prime minister, which stated that the Airbus A-321 had just taken off from the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh, on its way to the Russian city of St Petersburg.
As at the time of filing this report, it was not clear yet where the plane crashed, as some suggested that it may have disappeared over Cyprus. Most of the passengers on the plane operated by the Russian airline, Kogalymavia established since 1993, were said to be Russian tourists.
According to CNN reports, 224 passengers and crew were on board the crashed Russian plane, as the Egyptian Prime Minister, Sharif Ismail and the ministers are in an emergency meeting over the incident. The Egyptian authorities are having a torrid time having access to the suspected crash site because of the mountainous and ruggedness of Sinai. The plane crashed into central Sinai and the compromise occurred just 23 minutes after it took off. Details later
