Industry rumor to the effect that Russia is believed to have suddenly cancelled all of its commercial flights in and out of Egypt. (not just Sharm, or the Sinai, but all of Egypt)
UNconfirmed
We'll have to wait and see IF there is any truth to this.
I'm concerned about all those Brit citizens who got stranded because of this. I hope their flights out take place without incident.
The reports I heard said that US authorities and others (the UN? I don't remember, exactly) for a couple of weeks had been advising everyone to avoid flying over that area. The Russ flight was a charter. Apparently they disregarded the warnings....?
Normally, it's difficult for a terrorist to come aboard a charter unless they stole the identitiy of a passenger and blended in. It's more likely a bomb was in the cargo hold. The bulk-loaded cargo hold is in the rear near the tail section.
both recorders shut off, "sudden explosive decompression" which may be the bomb (or something else)

Apparently just about anybody could waltz right through and bypass security for the princely sum of £20
Well if it was a bomb put into the cargo hold, maybe they should stop hiring lowlifes to work in the airport ramp
I take back the SAM launcher thing if this is true, because that is just as likely to be what happened
Hiring unscrupulous wannabe terrorist type people to work the airport ramp
Yes I flip-flop now
Whatcha gonna do about it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I need a stiff drink and shut up for awhile

How difficult is it in such a corrupt country to load rigged i.e. lithium batteries, aerosols, diving tanks into the cargo hold? Seriously. In La Guardia, Miami, and JFK airports even TSA checked employees and luggage handlers transport drugs and guns for profit.

So the international passenger flights that crashed this year were either bombed or deliberately brought down (GermanWings).
So it's true they say that planes rarely fall these days because of engine failure or pilot error.
