ST. PETERSBURG, Russia (AP) — Only an external impact could have caused a Russian plane to dive into the Egyptian desert, killing all 224 people on board, Metrojet airline officials said Monday, adding to a series of confusing statements from investigators that left unclear why the plane broke up in mid-flight.

"We rule out a technical fault of the plane or a pilot error," Alexander Smirnov, deputy general director of Metrojet, told a news conference Monday in Moscow. "The only possible explanation could be an external impact on the airplane."

Most rule out IS ability to take down aircraft that high, so who is close enough to that area that has the where with all to do it....Saudi Arabia , whose been beefing w Russia lately. Not saying they did so, but am also not saying that the weaponry possible to commit the act didn't come from them, which came from, guess who? Where does SA get most of their advanced weapons from??

This ain't good, all due respect to those passengers/crew and their families. Can't imagine,
