Sinai: Black box analysis strengthens hypothesis that the plane was bombed.

(Baonghean.vn) - According to an anonymous source, analysis of the flight recorder on the ill-fated Airbus A321 of a Russian airline revealed a "sudden decompression explosion" before the crash.

An anonymous source revealed that decoding the flight data and cockpit voice recordings showed that "Everything was normal, perfectly normal throughout the flight, and then suddenly nothing could be heard."

According to this source, everything was normal during the 24-minute flight before suddenly ceasing operation. Analysts speculate that this could be a sign of a "sudden decompression explosion."

The recently revealed results from the analysis of the aircraft's black box further confirm earlier speculations that the plane was bombed. Research is currently ongoing to provide a definitive answer.

While awaiting the final results of the investigation into the Sinai crash, on November 6th, Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the suspension of all Russian airline flights to Egypt. Moscow hopes the cause of the Russian civilian aircraft crash in Sinai will be clarified by this Saturday.

The Russian plane crash in Sinai has once again thrown Egypt's tourism industry, which has yet to recover from the 2011 political crisis, into turmoil. This is especially true following the announcements from Russia and the UK regarding their decision to repatriate their citizens currently in Egypt for safety reasons.
