Daily Mail: So was it a bomb? Experts reveal Russian passenger plane which crashed and killed all 224 on board broke up at high altitude

* Sergei Trukhachev spoke to his daughter minutes before taking off and expressed concerns about the jet's safety
* His wife Natalya told Russian television he believed the 'technical condition of the aircraft left much to be desired'
* Egyptian aircraft engineers said they spent 35 minutes with the aircraft before it took off at 3.50am yesterday
* They claimed the aircraft was 'good' when it left, yet it broke up in mid-air only 23 minutes later killing 224 people

Russian air crash investigators have confirmed that an Airbus A321 which vanished from radar some 23 minutes after taking off from Sharm el-Sheikh broke up at high altitude.

Alexander Neradko, head of Russia's federal aviation agency, confirmed that the jet disintegrated at high altitude in a remote area where Egypt is fighting ISIS and Al Qaeda-backed terrorists.

Mr Neradko refused to comment on the cause of the crash, claiming the investigation was ongoing, but terrorism experts believe that a bomb could have been responsible.
