The passenger plane carrying about 224 including17 children on board, disappeared from radar screens after take-off from Sarm el- Sheik air-port- Egypt at about 6.14am Saturday 31 October, on reaching an altitude of between 30 -31,000 ft.
Wreckage of the plane was later found near the town of Hasna, north of the Sinai Peninsula.
Actual cause of the crash is unknown, however, it was reported that the co-pilot Sergei Trukachev raised concerns to his family before takeoff that the technical condition of the aircraft left much to be desired. To that, authorites revealed that the crashed airliner had received a certificate on airworthiness, according to regulators in Ireland where the plane was registered, earlier in 2015.
There are also reported claims of responsibility from Islamic State (ISIS), which was dismissed by Russian authorities. Howbeit, authorities stated that there are no grounds yet to rule out all theories on the cause of the crash, as the key task is to investigate in detail what caused the tragedy.
Meanwhile, Bodies of victims have been flown to St Petersburg, for identification and burial by relatives.
