At the time of the death of the airliner, there were seven crew members, as well as 217 passengers. Of these, there were four Ukrainians, one Belarusian, and the rest were citizens of Russia. Among them was the deputy head of Pskov and a deputy of the local legislative assembly. According to the Federal Air Transport Agency, the oldest passenger was 77 years old, and
the smallest victim of the tragedy was a 10-month-old.
Shortly before the tragic incident, her mother Tatyana published a photo of the child on her page on the social network VKontakte. The picture shows the girl standing on the window sill of the airport window with her back to the viewer. She looks at the planes on the ground. I made the caption under the picture: "The most important passenger."
This photograph was later replicated by many Russian and international media and became a symbol of the Sinai catastrophe. Diana's mother and father were also killed in a ship crash.
Condolences to the victims were expressed by the Russian President, as well as leaders of many countries in Europe and the world. The day after the crash of the liner, mourning was declared in Russia. However, the French published three cartoons on the topic of the disaster, which caused a negative reaction from the Russian Federation and. In response, the French Foreign Ministry said that "in France, journalists freely express their opinion," while "it does not always coincide with the official position of the French authorities."
"There were no questions to the car"
Soon after the incident, various versions of what had happened began to be put forward. Almost immediately, the hypothesis was swept aside, according to which the plane fell due to a pilot error. Victim Airbus crash was operated by experienced pilots, and the crew commander, 48-year-old Valery Nemov, flew over 12 thousand hours, of which more than 3860 - on the Airbus A321.
However, the details of the operation of the aircraft soon became known, and it turned out that it was far from new.
It was released in the spring of 1997 and made its maiden flight on May 9. After that, the plane was handed over to the American company International Lease Finance Corporation (ILFC), which by May 27 leased it to the Lebanese airline Middle East Airlines (MEA), which had been in possession of it for six years. June 2, 2003 already under tail number TC-OAE airliner leased to a Turkish airline Onur air... This structure later subleased the liner to Saudi Arabian Airlines, and from July 30 to September 29, 2010 - to Syrian Cham Wings Airlines. By the spring of 2012, the TC-OAE board returned to ILFC, and by March 30, 2012 it was leased by the Russian Kogalymavia.
On April 30 of the same 2012, the Dutch airline AerCap bought it from ILFC and re-handed it over to the Russian Kogalymavia. Russian airline, in turn, has been operating under the Metrojet trademark since May 1, 2012.
During the long service of the aircraft, an unpleasant incident from the point of view of safety occurred with it. On November 16, 2001, he flew passenger flight ME 306 on the Beirut - Cairo route and, when landing at the airport of the Egyptian capital, the pilots raised his nose too high, as a result of which the tail dropped so low that it hit the ground. None of the 88 people on board (81 passengers and 7 crew members) were injured then, and the liner itself returned to passenger routes after being repaired. This information was confirmed by representatives of "Kogalymavia", assuring that the plane passed all the necessary checks and technical tests on time.
On the eve of departure, the ill-fated flight was serviced, and the receiving crew had no questions about the car.
Interrupted message
The investigation into the causes of the tragedy began at once by several large structures of the countries of the world, since Egypt is a very popular tourist destination among citizens of many states. The investigation began to be carried out by the Ministry civil aviation Egypt, Russian, Bureau of Investigation and Security Analysis of Civil Aviation France, German Federal Bureau of Investigation aviation accidents, the Irish Aircraft Accident Investigation Division; and the US National Transportation Safety Board.

And although the involvement of Kogalymavia employees in the incident over Sinai is not confirmed by the facts, in the spring of 2016 it banned internal and international flights this airline.
According to the most frequently voiced version, the Sinai subdivision of the terrorist "" is behind the attack (both organizations are banned in Russia). Its members claimed responsibility for the crime shortly after the incident.
However, there are other points of view. A number of experts believe that the prokara organization Ansar Beit al-Maqdis (a cell of the IS banned in Russia) could be behind the attack. The United States also announced its trace in the tragedy.
Be that as it may, after the plane crash Russian aviation began to carry out more intensive air strikes on targets of various Islamist organizations in Syria. For the first time, Russian strategic aviation was involved in raids on the targets of IS and other extremists.

As is known on this moment, the aircraft crashed near the city of El Arish. Shortly before the accident, the aircraft commander requested permission from the ground services for an emergency landing in Cairo due to technical problems.
According to the Internet portal Flightradar, the airliner sharply lowered its altitude before disappearing from the radar: the plane crashed after it descended by 1.5 km.
On board the crashed Airbus 321 there were 224 people, seven of them were crew members. First, the Egyptian rescuers who arrived at the scene reported that they heard the groans of people under the rubble, and said that they hoped to find someone who could survive, but it soon became known that no one survived. Most of the passengers on the plane were tourists who were returning to Russia after a vacation in Egypt.
Among the dead were the deputy head of Pskov, who was returning from vacation with his common-law wife, as well as a participant in the TV show "Top Model in Russian" Elena Domashnyaya from St. Petersburg. Also 24 children died.
The overwhelming majority of those on board are Russians, but there are three Ukrainian citizens and one Belarusian citizen.
The bodies of the victims of the disaster were taken to the Cairo morgue at the time of Saturday evening. In St. Petersburg, DNA samples were taken from relatives of the victims for identification.
According to the Egyptian newspaper Al Ahram, investigators have already found one of the flight recorders Airbus 321. The "black box" contains all the data of communications between the aircraft and the control tower of dispatchers, as well as negotiations between the aircraft commander and his assistants, "the newspaper said. It will be deciphered by Russian investigators and aviation experts, who flew to Egypt shortly after the tragedy.
The crash of Airbus 321 was the largest in the history of Russia - 224 people died in it.
Prior to that, the largest in terms of the number of victims was the Tu-154 disaster, which flew from Tashkent to Leningrad on July 10, 1985. Due to a crew error, the plane went into a tailspin and crashed near the Uzbek city of Uchkuduk. Then 200 people died.
Why did the plane crash
On the first day of the disaster, conflicting information about the possible causes of the crash was received. So, Egyptian authorities said the crew of the Airbus 321 had complained about an engine malfunction. They also put forward a version about technical malfunction as one of the main ones. Wherein
in "Kogalymavia" said that they see no reason to doubt the technical serviceability of the aircraft.
The Investigative Committee, most likely, will check all versions. In particular, the investigators of the Volga Investigative Department of Transport in Samara at the site of the last gas station wrecked aircraft on Saturday seized fuel samples.
A few hours after the accident (a banned organization in Russia), through its friendly news agency Aamaq, announced that it was taking responsibility for the crash of Airbus 321. It also posted information about it. At the same time, it is known that local militants do not have weapons capable of hitting a flying target at such a height. Later, the statements of the terrorists were categorically denied by Russian officials, including the Minister of Transport of the Russian Federation. Despite all this,
In addition, the Minister of Labor instructed to pay the families of the deceased crew members of the crashed Airbus 321 1 million rubles each.
It is noteworthy that the tragedy did not affect the plans to celebrate Halloween in Moscow. Gazeta.Ru phoned the organizers of the largest Halloween parties scheduled for this night in Moscow. As it turned out, the clubs do not intend to make adjustments to their plans in connection with the plane crash.
So,
parties will take place in Soho Rooms, Arma17, Ray Just Arena and Moscow club.
The schedule was also retained by the few city parks that joined the celebration, for example, Sokolniki Park. Earlier, an announcement about the event was even posted on the website of the prefecture of the Eastern Administrative District.
“Today everything will take place according to the program, and tomorrow, of course, is a day of mourning,” the director of the park told Gazeta.Ru. "We have nothing special planned for tomorrow, but we will cancel the dancing, for example."
Could saving money lead to tragedy
The crashed Airbus A-321 was 18 years old. However, contrary to popular belief, the aircraft's age does not affect its flight characteristics. The fact is that each aircraft is obliged to undergo regular scheduled checks and technical inspection in accordance with the rules of the International Association. air transport(ICAO). Without an appropriate certificate, the air authorities and the airport will not allow the aircraft to fly. It is worth noting that, in contrast to the well-known in Russia method of "quickly doing" maintenance on a car, this option with an airplane is impossible, since
each technician and technical team that checks the aircraft are personally responsible for their area of inspection and put their signature under its results.
Moreover, each member of the engineering and technical staff is responsible only for his own area (for example, the aircraft engine, the condition of the flaps, tail, etc.). Most of the aircraft flying in Russia undergo technical maintenance abroad in specialized centers, and some types of maintenance of foreign civil aircraft can only be carried out abroad.
During its life, the aircraft undergoes many technical checks, which actually replace each other: Transit check, Daily check, Weekly check, A-check, B-check, C-check and D-check.
A-check and B-check are simple (easy) checks, while C- and D-check are heavy maintenance. D-check occurs approximately once every 12 years (that is, the crashed plane has already passed one D-check) and lasts 30-40 days. During it, the entire aircraft, all its components and assemblies are checked. Units that have exhausted their resource or have not passed the test are subject to replacement. In fact, this means that the ITS team practically completely disassembles the aircraft, checking every part, electronics, wiring and assembly for corrosion or rust. If even small signs of corrosion are found, the part or part of the skeleton is replaced with a new one. According to experts, de facto this means that
by 25 years of service, from all the components of the aircraft, which was assembled at the manufacturing plant, only a few original units and parts remain.
World experience shows that most airlines are trying to get rid of old aircraft, constantly renewing their aircraft fleet. However, this is not about flight safety, but about elementary economic benefits. The higher and more complex the level of technical inspection of aircraft, the longer it takes and the more expensive it is for the airline. Thus,
by handing over the aircraft for a 30-40-day D-check, the company will incur serious losses, since the aircraft cannot be operated during the check, which means it cannot generate income.
However, despite the high safety of flights, any plane crash attracts increased attention of the international aviation authorities, as well as the manufacturers of the crashed plane. As a result of investigations into the causes of a plane crash or incidents, international aviation authorities may introduce new requirements for the safety of air transportation.
So, for example, after several incidents with the refusal of navigation on the plane, passengers were forbidden to turn on mobile phones, and aircraft manufacturers were instructed to think about improving the insulation of the aircraft's electronic on-board systems. As a result, in new aircraft models, this malfunction was eliminated and some aviation authorities, for example, the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), officially canceled the outdated requirement. In a similar way, the instructions were introduced to keep the window shades open during takeoff and landing: firstly,
through the windows, passengers can notice an emergency outside the plane and inform the crew about it, and secondly, in the event of a hard landing, the window curtain can break and there is a risk that sharp plastic fragments will injure passengers.
The cause of today's tragedy remains to be seen, but we can safely say that there is no correlation between the age of the aircraft and its safety.
Egypt news. Tragedy that claimed 224 lives. There were 200 adults, 17 children and 7 crew members on board. The bodies of those killed in the crash on Saturday evening began to be delivered to the Zenhom morgue in Cairo.
A search and rescue operation continues at the crash site of a Russian airliner in Egypt.
