200 adult passengers, 17 children and seven crew members lost their lives today after a Russian passenger jet flying them to St Petersburg crashed in Egypt.
The aircraft crashed less than 25 minutes after it took off from the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh. The bodies of all 17 children on board have been recovered and photos of some of them released.
Alena Moiseeva, pictured above and aged five, was among the 17 children. Yury Shein with his daughter Anastasia boarding a Metrojet aircraft, left, with Anton Bogdanov, right, also died in the
crash.
ISIS has claimed being responsible for the Russian plane disaster despite technical problems being blamed.
Yury Shein, Anastasia and Anton
Olga Sheina, Yulia Buleyeva, Valeria Bogdanova and Anastasia Bogdanova (in that order) were both among the 220 victims as a major investigation is launched into the crash. May their souls rest in perfect peace.
