Flight KGL9268: shot down over Sinai?

[OUTLAW 09]

Interesting if true as it appears the Airbus had engine issues and that would not have caused it to brake up in mid air........the IS video did show the aircraft training smoke from the engines

If news that #7K9268 bodies are found up to a 5km radius, then almost certain aircraft broke up in the air. RIP to the dead.

Russian pilots didn't let #Egypt air traf. controller know on emergencies, didn't ask for landing #7K9268 #Airbus321

Here is a some additional info..... a number of Syrian commenters who have been tracking IS since 2011 do not in fact rule out 100% a SAM hit.

The aircraft literally broke up in mid air. the pilot did not at anytime state his emergency, the smart phone video while grainy did in fact depict the shape and configuration of an airbus in descent, flight radar 24 in fact confirms a sink rate of 6K feet per minute and it was when the video was made at SAM height, and the video depicts the aircraft trailing black smoke from the engine area.

Social media open source checks have indicated no old photo depicting a burning Airbus previously anywhere in the net.

On top of all of this AF and Lufthansa immediately stopped flying over the area AND the Russians have an overall poor performance rate on the maintenance of their commercial aircraft--this Airbus if reporting is correct was over 20 years old and the pilot had complained about the plane's conditions to his wife.

Side note--there has not been any reported similar mid air breakups by any Airbus before and there is a large number of them over 20 years and still flying daily.

If one looks at the crash site photos the plane hit the ground in about three main pieces and burnt out--interesting is the fact that at one of the burn sites with a large amount of crash wreckage the wings/engines were nowhere to be seen which seems to indicate they detached earlier and in mid air.

Still a puzzle I think......
