When adults die because of someone else, it is a terrible tragedy. If children die for the same reason, then this is a doubly tragedy!

The tragic story of one family

Baby girl aged ten months from Leningrad region I flew to Egypt at sea with my parents. In her father’s arms she swayed on the Mediterranean waves and soaked up the sun.

While returning home, the girl died in a plane crash along with her father and mother and other passengers on the plane. Among the almost three dozen children on that flight, there was no less Darina. Her parents Alexey and Tatyana Gromov worked in the same thriving company. It was a good young family.

At Pulkovo airport, the mother took a photograph of her daughter looking at the planes through the terminal window. And posted the photo on in social networks entitled: "Chief Passenger". Now this photo of Darina Gromova, still alive, has spread all over the world.

On the Internet, Darina is called the main passenger of the tragic flight. The baby’s grandmother, feeling the trouble, asked the children to leave her granddaughter with her. But they didn’t listen.

How did it happen?

On October 31, 2015, an Airbus A321-231 of a Siberian airline crashed over the Sinai Peninsula. It was chartered by the travel company Briscoe for international charter flight 7K-9268 St. Petersburg - Sharm el-Sheikh - St. Petersburg. On it, tourists returning home from Egypt were vacationing on the Mediterranean coast.

Within twenty minutes, the autopilot raised the plane to an altitude of ten kilometers. From there he immediately began to fall vertically at a breakneck speed of 1.8 km/minute. That is, it took 5.5 minutes to fall to the ground. During this time, the pilots requested a landing. But before runway it was more than 50 kilometers.

There were reports online that there was an explosion in the tail of the plane. They even named the person who brought the explosives on board and placed them in the “tail” of the liner. This was later confirmed by the layout of the remains of the liner. The disaster claimed the lives of 224 people (including the death of the entire crew). Initially there were several versions, in particular, a technical problem or human factor. The main version was a terrorist attack.

The ISIS group, an organization banned in Russia, attributed it to its bloody account. As always in such cases, the perpetrators were not punished. The Kremlin assured that they would search for those involved in the death of the plane passengers indefinitely and punish the perpetrators.

This is the biggest disaster of the Russian passenger aircraft. There was no such tragedy either in the history of Egypt or in this series of Airbus. Flights to this African country from the Russian Federation were stopped for a long time, which hit Egypt’s tourism hard. Flights recently resumed after the Russian side was convinced of the safety of local air terminals. This kind of work is still being done.

Terrorist attack or equipment malfunction?

The Egyptians stubbornly refuse to recognize the cause of the disaster as a terrorist attack. The transport ministry of this country assured that final conclusions would be made quickly. But the conclusions still contain no mention of a terrorist attack. So trust them!

Let us note that rescuers from the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations will continue active searches at the site of the plane crash with Russians in Egypt from the very morning of November 2, 2015. As TASS reports with reference to the acting chief National Center management in crisis situations of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia Alexey Smirnov, currently the search area is more than 20 square kilometers. Due to the fact that the plane, according to available data, began to fall apart while still in the air, the bodies of its passengers were scattered at a great distance from each other and from the main crash site.

According to some information, the plane dropped sharply by 1.5 kilometers, after which it disappeared from radar screens. Before contact was lost, the pilot was requesting permission to land at Cairo airport.
