Egypt confirms Russian passenger plane has crashed in Sinai

"Cairo: A Russian passenger plane carrying up to 224 passengers and crew has crashed in in Egypt, Prime Minister Sherif Ismail has confirmed.

A statement from the Prime Minister's office said Mr Ismail had formed a cabinet-level crisis committee to deal with the crash in central Sinai.

The Airbus A-321 was operated by Russian airline Kogalymavia and had just taken off from the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh, on its way to the Russian city of St Petersburg, when the plane lost communications with flight officials.

Most of the passengers are said to be Russian tourists.

Aviation tracking website Flight Radar 24 tweeted that the plane was descending at a rate of about 6000 feet a minute just before its signal was lost."

Tragic incident. My condolences for loss of lives.

Horrible news. RIP to the departed.

Could this have been a revenge hit for the Ukraine downing?

Many nationalities died on that flight.

Lots of Dutch as I remember.

Its just an association that popped into my head. Probably nothing.

Will have to wait for further news and confirmation.
