The Russian crashed plane is completely destroyed and the most of passengers are likely to have died, a security officer told Reuters. The Egyptian air traffic control lost contact with a civilian airliner - Airbus A321 "Kogalymavia"- carrying 224 people shortly after it took off from the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh to head to Russia, aviation sources said on Saturday. The sources said the passenger plane was mainly carrying Russian tourists and that a search was underway. Security sources in the Sinai Peninsula confirmed reports that an aircraft was missing.
