ISIS CLAIMS RESPONSIBILITY FOR RUSSIAN JET CRASH
Victims 'found over 3-mile radius' after plane with 224 on board crashes in Egypt
(Daily Mail UK) These are the first images of the mangled wreckage of the Russian passenger jet that crashed this morning, killing all 224 people on board.
The harrowing photos were released by the office of Egyptian Prime Minister Sharif Ismaile, who visited the crash site in the Sinai Peninsula.
They show the destroyed interior of the Irish-owned aircraft, which split apart upon impact, killing 200 adults, 17 children and seven crew members.
It comes as Egypt has recovered the aircraft’s black box from the tail of the plane, which is now being analysed by experts.
The Islamic State group affiliate in Egypt has claimed it downed the aircraft, but has not said how it might have done so.
Egypt and Moscow, however, have denied any possible terrorism link.
This evening, the prime minister’s office said: ‘The black box was recovered from the tail of the plane and has been sent to be analysed by experts.’
It added that more than 45 ambulances have been dispatched to the crash site, with rescuers having recovered 129 victims’ bodies so far.
The jet, which was leased by a Russian airline and carrying package holiday passengers back to St Peterburg in northern Russia, plummeted to the ground less than 25 minutes after it took off from the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheik. It crashed in the Hassana area, south of Arish, officials said.
Security forces discovered the crash wreckage in a remote mountainous area in a region containing many ISIS-affiliated terrorists.
