Both Egypt And Russia Seem To Have Their Own Reasons For Hoping That The Plane Crash In Sinai Was Nothing More Than A Tragic Accident.

Are they in a position to covr up the the cause if it was caused by terrorist action?
One more question, are holiday makers altogether wise to go to places , Tunisia comes to mind and Shark El Sheihk was bombed some years ago, that are in a war zone?

I mentioned this yesterday sandy, but it was greeted by howls of derision !

The answer to the second part of your question is I think people are barking for wanting to go somewhere like that. I recall all those British tourists that were moaning about having to be brought home early from Tunisia. One chap said he felt perfectly safe...after all there were armed guards just behind him on the beach !

I'm just waiting to see how Russia Reacts to this, will Putin " Pussyfoot"?

The russians have a lot of experience in coverups and rewriting history as needed

they didnt seen to realise that when they repatriated the Ukraine bodies that they would have bits of BUK missile in them ....

so if it is missile there are bits inside the aircraft and
if it were a bomb then the skin of the fuselage peels the other way ....

No Nile cruises - none in 2016
so the only tourist industry ( = money or fuluuus for the Egyptians ) comes from Sharm el Sheikh

I have a lot of sumpathy for the Egyptians - they are starving

Yes PP, it's so true. The only really big industry was tourism and even so, most people seemed to live on tips and promises. Now they will have nothing.
