Plane Crash in Egypt Kills 224; Russian Airline Blames "External Impact" 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------


 
The Russian airline whose passenger jet crashed in Egypt Saturday says
the crash was caused by an "external impact," not by technical failures
or human error. All 224 aboard the Metrojet flight were killed when it
crashed in Egypt's Sinai Peninsula. Airline officials said the crew
didn't send a distress call before the plane broke apart in midair. It's
still unclear exactly what happened. The plane was flying from Sharm
el-Sheikh to St. Petersburg, Russia.
