First pictures of Russian jet crash that killed 224: Victims 'found over three-mile radius' in Egypt - as Moscow and Cairo deny ISIS claims they brought down the plane

Russian plane crashes in Egypt’s Sinai desert with 224 people on board
These are the first images of the mangled wreckage of the Russian passenger jet that crashed this morning, killing all 224 people on board. The harrowing photos (centre and right) were released by the office of Egyptian Prime Minister Sharif Ismaile, who visited the crash site in the Sinai Peninsula. They show the destroyed interior of the Irish-owned aircraft, which split apart upon impact, killing 200 adults (including Yury Shein, pictured bottom left, boarding the aircraft with his daughter Anastasi, and Aleksei Gromov and his wife Tatiana, top left), 17 children and seven crew members. It comes as Egypt has recovered the aircraft's black box from the tail of the plane, which is now being analysed by experts. ISIS claimed responsibility for downing the Russian jet in an attempt to score a propaganda victory from the disaster. Inset: The aircraft crashed in the Sinai desert shortly after takeoff.
