224 killed in plane crash over Egypt
The New York Times reports that 224 Russian citizens perished this weekend when their commercial passenger jet went down over Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula. Early reports indicate that the plane broke apart in air, and flight recorders have been recovered and appear to have survived the crash. Officials claim that reports of terrorism have been “fabricated,” but investigators have not ruled out terrorism or mechanical failure as the cause of the disintegration. A national day of mourning was held in Russia Sunday in remembrance of the victims of the crash.
