Russian plane broke apart ‘in the air’

The Russian Airbus that crashed in Egypt broke apart “in the air,” a senior official with Russia’s Interstate Aviation Committee says.

“The disintegration happened in the air and the fragments are strewn over a large area,” committee chief Viktor Sorochenko was quoted as saying by RIA-Novosti news agency in Cairo, where he is part of an international panel of experts from Russia, Egypt, France and Ireland.
