Russia appears to be warming to the bomb theory, FSB chief recommends that flights to Egypt should be suspended.
Sinai plane crash: Russia 'should suspend Egypt flights' -
www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-34743216As awful as it is that the bomb theory is becoming more likely, it's somewhat more reassuring to me that this wasn't a case of planes falling apart mid-air due to structural failures. Thats a terrifying prospect for flyers everywhere
Agreed. I'm comfortable saying that I think it would be better if this was the work of a bomb rather than a mechanical failure or pilot error. On a personal level it's comforting to know that the plane didn't fall out of the sky on its own accord due to a tail strike 13 years ago (unlikely considering Airbus conducted the repair themselves) or pitot tubes failing; in essence that the plane only crashed because someone wanted it to. Also it hopefully would encourage Putin to start targeting ISIL more, rather than the Syrian opposition
