Editor's Note: This story has been updated throughout.
The head of Russia’s aviation accident investigation body has confirmed
that the Russian Airbus A321 that crashed in the Sinai on Saturday
broke up in mid-air. Victor Sorochenko said that the wreckage was spread
over an area of eight square miles – not concentrated in one debris
field.
This would be consistent with a severe and very sudden structural
failure that resulted in the airplane literally falling out of the sky
from its cruise altitude of 31,000 feet. (An Egyptian statement that the
pilot had reported a technical problem and asked for a diversion to the
nearest airport was later withdrawn.)
