Victim Body Parts Suggest "Powerful Explosion" Most Likely Cause Of Russian Airplane Crash

Tyler Durden's picture




 

On Monday evening, we brought you the latest from what will almost undoubtedly end up being one of the year’s biggest stories. 

According to US officials, an infrared satellite detected a “heat flash” concurrent to the mid-air disaster that caused a Russian passenger jet to crash in the Sinai Peninsula killing all 224 people on board. This, the defense official contended, takes the missile theory off the table but does suggest that there could have been an explosion on the plane, either a fuel tank or a bomb. 

Although it’s impossible to say whether a video released by ISIS in the hours after the crash is authentic, the assessment detailed above would be broadly consistent with what the footage appears to show. 

Not everyone is convinced. A competing theory revolves around whether an incident that saw the plane scrape its tail on a runway in 2001 might have contributed to the catastrophe. 

Now, Russian media says that according to an Egyptian forensic expert, victims’ injuries seem to point to a mid-air explosion. Here’s Sputnik:

According to an Egyptian forensic expert, an analysis of injuries sustained by victims of the Russian airliner crash on Saturday in Egypt shows that a mid-air explosion might have occured aboard the Airbus A321 passenger jet, RIA Novosti reported.

 

On October 31, an Airbus A321 operated by the Russian airline Kogalymavia crashed in the Sinai Peninsula en route to St. Petersburg from the Egyptian resort city of Sharm El-Sheikh. The tragedy has become the largest civilian aircraft disaster in Russian and Soviet history.

 

"A large number of body parts may indicate that a powerful explosion took place aboard the plane before it hit the ground," said an Egyptian forensic expert who took part in the examination of the bodies of the A321 crash victims.

 

According to the expert, a DNA analysis would be needed to identify the victims of the Russian airliner crash in Egypt.

In no uncertain terms: the fact that there were body parts scattered in an 8 kilometer radius is all you need to know about what caused the plane to crash.

Still, Egypt’s civil aviation ministry says there's as yet no "proof" to support Moscow's claims that the plane broke apart. Here's Reuters

Spokesman Mohamed Rahmi said there was no proof yet that the plane had broken up in flight. "This could be a long process and we can’t talk about the results as we go along,” he said.

Well, sure you can, and a lot of people are. Despite Rahmi's contention that no evidence exists that the plane exploded (you know, other than the video from the terrorists which shows it exploding and the testimony of a forensic expert), he did confirm that no distress call was received from the pilot:

“No communication from the pilot was recorded at the navigation centers requesting anything,” he told Reuters.

We'll close with the following from Bloomberg and leave it to readers to draw their own conclusions given everything noted above:

More than a decade before it burst into pieces mid-air, the Russian jetliner that crashed in Egypt on Saturday scraped its tail on a runway during landing and needed to be repaired.

 

Investigators poring over wreckage of the Metrojet Airbus Group SE A321 in Egypt’s Sinai peninsula will be taking a close look at a 2001 repair to the plane’s tail because it is one of the few things known to cause the type of sudden midair breakup that occurred Saturday, said John Goglia, a former airline mechanic who served on the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board.

 

“If the engineering is done right, it’s not an issue. If the repair follows the engineering data, it’s not an issue,” said Goglia, who isn’t involved in the Metrojet investigation. “But a breakdown in any one of those can and has resulted in catastrophic failures.”

 

While it may take years for a repair to eventually crack enough to fail, that can lead to a violent explosion damaging an aircraft, according to accident reports.

 

Such a failure occurred in 2002 when China Airlines Flight 611 flying from Taiwan to Hong Kong broke apart at the spot where the Boeing Co. 747’s tail was repaired 22 years earlier.

 

Japan Airlines Flight 123 hit a mountain in 1985 after a similar repair came apart, claiming 520 lives. When the repair let loose, it blew off the vertical fin rising out of the tail. Without that fin, the plane couldn’t be controlled.

I would guess a mid-air explosion of a powerful nature would simply result in no response from the crew or other data from the flight boxes.  It would show normal parameters, then, Poof! Nothing.

We will have to wait. I do suspect the FSB knows more than we do, however.

If it was foul play, the FSB will take its time in retaliating.

Why we live in such poor condition next to Finland! Why? We have gas, oil etc. What Finland has? Nothing! But look what they can do! They will give away 800 EUR each month each citizens - simply just like that! Our average salary in Russia is not even half of 800 EUR 

Putin! Where is our money?

 

Kela to prepare basic income proposal The Finnish Social Insurance Institution is to begin drawing up plans for a citizens' basic income model. The preparation's director Olli Kangas says that full-fledged basic income would net Finns some 800 euros a month.

Under basic income all Finnish citizens would be paid an untaxed benefit sum free of charge by the government. Kangas says the model would see Finns being paid some 800 euros a month in its full form, 550 euros monthly in the model's pilot phase.

The basic income model's full-fledged form would make some earnings-based benefits obsolete, but in the partial pilot format benefits would not be affected. The partial model would also retain housing benefits and income support packages.

Kela says it will prepare the basic income proposal by November, 2016. The government's nationwide basic income trial will be based on the finished proposal.

Seems like if you wanted to shoot down an airliner, this would be the perfect weapon.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starstreak_%28missile%29

The company makes these for export and sells them to South Africa, Malaysia, and Indonesia. The range is 23k ft + and has a target acquisition speed over 800mph. It is laser guided and fires armor piercing delayed explosive darts. The system has three darts per missile giving you a better chance at hitting what you are aiming at.

If you see a plane flying in a straight line, this weapon system could probably hit an aircraft flying at its maximum ceiling. There is some serious kinetic energy behind a warhead traveling at 3000 mph.

Think about trying to shoot down a fighter plane flying at 700mph+ which may be banking and using countermeasures vs a much larger civilian airliner moving in a straight line and a stable altitude.

Tue, 11/03/2015 - 13:25 | 6744443 undertow1141
undertow1141's picture

So 33k feet minus 23k feet, leaves your missile still 10k feet away from target below. Counting in gravity and wind resistance the fletchettes in the Starstreak missile stand ZERO percent chance of coming close to the target.

No MANPAD on earth can touch a target at 33k feet. It would have had to of been a much larger SAM.  THis was either a horrible malfunction or the result of deliberate sabotage (bomb, fuel tank damage, etc etc).

People who keep up with this MANPAD idea are just woefully ignorant.

 

Let conspiracy loons flame war commence.

Well, boys, I'm sure you all remember the last "powerfulful explosion" in Tianjin.  And the several explosions in Chinese chemical warehouses that followed.

I have no experience with explosives and defer to those who have, but from the video of the first explosion and the ball of fire that raced hundreds of yards at the camera, I could not help thinking 'thermobaric explosives'.  No doubt that the perpetrators of that crime did not want the investigators of that crime to see the exact workings of their bomb. 

Whether or not there is some chemical 'fingerprint' that ties the two events together remains to be seen.  

So far we haven't seen any retaliatory moves by China, not even any accusations.  So I am not going to be surprised if Russia doesn't follow the Chinese lead.

Instead of Putin and Xi getting bent out of shape, like some Poe story, its the peace prize Negro who is mainlining Prozac.

As a bonus black Americans particularly those who voted for him hate him the most!!! And with good reasons for all the "wolf in sheeps clothing" change of name aside with the examples previously mentioned!

As a matter of fact, calling him a white "Pan" makes the insult worse for whites than it does blacks considering his mother was "white" and worse still an agent of the CIA and "liar for life" as all of them are at that location in McLean Virginia!

Perhaps I should reconsider calling him a chimp altogether, out of courtesy and respect to all primates which are highly intelligent and decent creatures unlike that beneath contempt anti-christ in the "Oval Office"!

Because it was a story that one or more Tylers would be interested in but it didn't fit under a story.

Why are you a cunt trying to sell the absurd idea Russia, and not the US/Israel/Saudis/Turks are behind ISIS? This is, of course, an absurd tactic to take and lo and behold - you are joined by a few other people known for their perpetual anti-Russian thought policing.

Do you boys share a brain, or just a guidance/talking points handbook?

WHY am I ... ?

BECAUSE one sided logic delivered by a group of dimwits like that guy that just said "Obama had all the WTC debri shipped overseas for meltdown as part of the coverup" Need to have the boot of reality sent to their ass.

This entire zerohedge "community" of false flaggers think that if a Chinese guy farts its because the CIA set that up and of course -- the results will be a massive fireball at a Chinese port. Yet, somehow, the mere mention of Putin (the FSB Major with the declared specialty of "misinformation officer") could never never be involved in a false flag operation. It's beyond ridiculous the lack of balanced logic here on this shit.

Well, according to the latest edition of the Protocols of Zion, page 2001(wink, wink), 2nd and 3rd paragraph, 5 sentence, 4th letter, it's all the Jews fault. Or the "Juden", as any Anti-Semite would say. Their Mossad, along with the CIA/NSA/FBI/DEA/ABC and Dept of Education, hooked up to create ISIS to counter the growing influence of Isreal, Russia, China and Guam, which is seeking its independance. Mossad had much assistance from Papa Rothchild, who contacts the heads of all states using a time macine cell phone made specially for him. He tells them which pawn to move on the global chessboard, and has on occasion, attended various meetings of the Bildebergers (selling on occasion real Bildebergers made with the best ground beef and using a "secret" ingredient) , using a time machine video camera, designed especially by the US Dept of Agriculture. So there was no plane crash in Egypt. It was staged and made using the best video and computer graphics to fool all.

If these reports are true, it certainly does point the investigation towards foul play.  Russian investigators will be quickly able to determine if there are signs of explosive residue on the fragments of that airplane.  And also the way that the metal is torn apart into fagments - would be quite different from a structural failure.  I agee, the existence of body fragments over a wide area does not seem to be consistent with a structural problem.

No doubt the Russians will be furious - who wouldn't be.  But it will take time to piece together the people involved.  Hopefully there were good security cameras at the airport (point of departure).

Prayers for all the families.  This is truly horrifying.

The Russians people know war.

Americans do not. There hasn't been a punch-up war in the USA since 1860.

 

There are going to be some high level ISIS leaders disappearing for 2-3 days all over the middle east....and then dumped from a speeding car in front of their offices with their former genitals stuffed in their mouths.

 

Russians are NOT Americans....PCness does not exist in Russia.

 

ISIS reckons they have a monopoly on unpleasant ways for their enemies to die? They are about to get a whole new lesson in this regard.

We should ask again here "Who gains the most from this crash'. Follow the logical events when proof comes in how it was done, then figure ahead as to who gains what. If this act was simple revenge, meant to give a good Russian body count, it will backfire. Russias have never shown a willingness to back down when bloodied by an enemy. In fact, to resist an attacker, they will risk total destruction rather than surrender. As history shows. From Poland, Sweden, France, Mongolia, Turkey, Germany and now the USA, foreigners have come to either kill, capture or conquer the Russians in their homelands. So far, their record is very poor at beating Russian in the end.

Broken in mid air? Sure. Why? I saw blood on the chairs of YT video at RT channel video there.

Does it caused by bomb? Still answer NO.

Therr are no soot visible on other planes debris. Even on that chairs. And internal bomb even inside cargo bay, will creates soot it's shown on TWA-800 debris. Not on that russian one.

The only charred remains are anything where th main wings and that centre fuselage (again, from that RT YT video). This tells me when the planes broke up in mid air? The jet-a fuels still intact in their tanks (on A321, these tanks locxated inside main wings & the central fuselage). And that's that section that shown charred remains on the grounds (due to impact).

And the jet engines located in that same main wings debris. So that means that engine STILL ATTACHED to the main wings when the planes broke up in mid air.The fact that this jet engine located at the exact spot where main wings debris located? Tells me that the engine does works normally until that wings section impact the ground.

Why i knew this? The are 4 (four) bolts attaching to each engine pylons on the main wing. This bolts designed to BREAKS should there be EXCESSIVE VIBRATIONS from the jet engine due to catastrophic engine malfunction (such as one of the titanium blades broke of, and creates engine imballance. This can happens when engine strike birds. Like the new york incident. Or the fell off of left engine of the KLM 747 incident in Netherland).

Next, on that same RT video. Look at tha pile pipe debris? They shown no charred damaged. These are pipes that runs compressed air from IP blades (IP: intermediates pressure compressor blades. Look at wiki page about jet engine, and you'll know what i means) into internal cargo bay of that planes, to AC (AirCon) compressor to turn those compressor blades to runs the AC system of the planes. Do you see that these pipes had charred marks?? Neither do i.

And i remeber. A321 used a lot of composites materials. Even for its fuselage (not for just wings only). This planes had been exist for >18 years!! Now, you that have modern muscle car (aka. very expensive cars), that used carbon fiber composites. What happened to that composites after >10 years ages, and you didn't replaced them??

- - -

I love Russia & Their people.

However, creating false pretense that somebody bombed thatplane w/o enough evidence? Aren't that ZH article from Egypt ME, doesn't mentions anything about bomb exploding? The will be soot in that bodies if a bomb exploded. Haven't you learnt about this in boston bombs?

Why are you so convince about that bombs theory? If you one of the relative of this victims. What your feeling knowing your family destroyed in such horrific manner, when the evidence on the grounds doesn't support thst theory?

I watch all episodes NGC Aircrash investigations. I'm not certified crash engineers. But it doesn't takes genius to understand basic physics principle. It applies to everythingthat is under this universe.

And by that logic? The muted response from both Eqypt & Russia? Tells you no terrorists employed in this incident. Do you really think Russia FSB (CIA for Russian) really that clueless about where every god damn terrorists names and their locations? If Egypt knows it is the work of their terrorist, don't you think you will heard some MASSIVE EGYPT MILITARY OPERATIONS try to bombs these shit terrorists to hell? Do you also think Egypt intelligence really that clueless?? Sigh...

- - -

My takes is (again speculative at this time). Some of the sensor failed. That send wrong data to Auto Pilot computer. Computer makes wrong decisions about its condition. Pilots whonow rely so much to this computer (pilots often forgot. Computers? You gave garbage data? You get garbage result!!), the pilot clueless about wy its auto pilot behave this way. Makes wrong correction move. And it creates movement beyong the flight envelope limits of that planes (this happens on my country boeing 737-200 incident. It broke into 3 piece before hitting the deep see. It took 2 years to takes the wreckage from the oceans).

So, i hope you consider this simple logic based on my explanation above.

Otherwise, you probably one's of doom preppers people that i watch on DC/NGC channels..

It's the West that's propagandizing the 'fact' that the plane was bombed.  Forcing the Russians to make that call.

If the Russians go the revenge route they will be severely criticized by the global community and be accused of being like Israel, which is intolerable to every nation except Israel.

Before I go, let me draw your attention to this headline in yesterday's mirror:  

Russian Plane Crash Could Give Vladimir Putin Cause To Utilize Deadly Thermobaric Explosives In Syria.

http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/russian-plane-crash-could-give-6...

Here Bruce Jones,is slip[ped some information to print in the Mirror.  He says that Putin may answer the downed plane (and Xi answer Tianjin) with thermobaric weapons.

Which are the very weapons the US used in Tianjin and on the plane over the Sinai.  (I called 'Thermobaric' the day after the Tianjin explosion)

This is classic enemy propaganda: accusing the enemy of using a weapon that you have already used.

Of destroying an enemies' passenger plane with a deadly type of explosive, and then screaming like a drunken pimp, that that enemy is going to use that weapon in retaliation.

The article in the Mirror alone convinces me I am right and there is a nexus between Sinai and Tianjin.

It was a plane full of Russian departing a location which was barren so there wouldn't be collateral damage on the ground. They could have exploded it over the Mediterranean, but when you fire a shot across an enemy's bow sometime your looking for all the publicity you can get. Look at the dif between mh17 and mh370.
Of course, the plane was shot down by the CIA, by one of its lackies. That's all the CI A is. A collection of lackies.
There was no big name passenger. It was not a hit.

It was a warning to Putin. Stop what your doing in Syria or you will get more of these. 5 chemical warehouses in China hit because of their South China Sea agenda. China didn't stop making islands. Will the CIA be more destructive? If they are will China sink the next guided missile destroyer making the Pentagons circuit?

China can afford to lose50 chemical warehouses.
Russia can afford to lose 10 Air busses with 200 passengers.

Have you see the heads of the CIA and NSA?

Their brains are on life support. They look like the retarded evil assistants in Time Bandits. Their plans are so outdated they wouldn't even work in WWI. I expect one of them to reinvent the Maginot line.

Interesting. Most people accept that some sort of explosion occurred which brought the plane down. Whether it was an on-board bomb in the hold or a ground to air missile (or even an air to air missile) can easily be verified by forensic examination of the aircraft fragments being recovered plus the black boxes. Many people claim that a manpad could not reach a plane at 31,000 ft travelling at 450mph. That video seems to dispute that theory but we'll see.

I assume you are joking with the video you posted.  Regardless the type of shoulder fired weapon used in the video has a maximum range (altitude) of about 15,000 feet - half the height of the plane that crashed. 

As far as the video being of the Russian airliner being shot down that does not compute at all, simply for the reason that the terrain around the area where these guys are shooting the missile is nothing like the terrain in the Sinai where the crash occurred - it's a different area entirely.
