Egyptian search and rescue team members have heard voices in a section of a Russian plane that crashed in the country's Sinai peninsula on Saturday, an officer on the scene told Reuters on Saturday.

Prayers for all involved!
I find this very very hard to believe..
Note the time stamp on the article. All majore news outlets, including Reuters, are reporting now that all perished.
A haunted crash site?
Could be first responders heard passengers who were nearly dead and within minutes, none were left alive?
Then again the Egyptians and Arabs love to embellish stories...
Remember.........It was Halloween.
I often hear voices.
Djinn...
Maybe an electronic device?
If they were at 31,000 feet they would have died from oak of O2. Not to mention sudden depression of the airplane. Not to mention a five mile(or so) drop onto the ground.
I guess it’s not the drop that kills you....it’s the sudden stop.
There is so much BS about the whole crash scenario that I am beginning to wonder if there was really a flight that day.
Probably looters.
Yep.
Somebody’s radio/cellphone?
The only thing more dangerous than ISIS is Ivan’s attention to safety.
“If they were at 31,000 feet they would have died from oak of O2. Not to mention sudden depression of the airplane. Not to mention a five mile(or so) drop onto the ground.”
Although their cruising altitude may be reported to have been 31,000 feet ASL, we do not know yet at what altitudes the aircraft disintegrated, the fuselage decompressed, and the oxygen failed for all the passengers and crew. It may very well be that the fuselage did not rupture, decompress, and disintegrate until after the aircraft descended into the troposphere.
“I guess it’s not the drop that kills you....it’s the sudden stop.”
While survivors from an Airbus that disintegrated during a 6,000 foot per minute descent is understandably very unlikely, it is still within the realm of a miraculous possibility. During World War Two there were some truly astounding survival stories about Allied air crew who survived the disintegration of their aircraft above 20,000 feet altitude, fell through the airspace without a parachute either alone or within a fragment of the disintegrated aircraft, survived impact with the ground or the sea, and lived to tell the tale. In one such case an airman’s heavy bomber was blown to pieces at high altitude over Austria on a bombing mission, he was thrown free of the wreckage in midair without a functional parachute, fell more than three miles through the air, smashed into a woodland of conifer trees and their branches, and impacted a deep snowbank on the ground. Most of his major bones were broken by the impact, but he was still alive when an Austrian farmer and German soldiers found him and took him in for medical treatment. The Gestapo tortured and imprisoned him as a suspected spy, because they said he had no parachute.
The father of a friend of mine was a tailgunner in a B-17 when the tail was blown off of the aircraft. He survived the fall to the ground without a parachute because the horizontal stabilizer of the tail he remained in acted like a glider enough to naturally soften the impact with the ground enough for him to survive. He escaped capture that time, but was shot down again, ending the war in the POW camp.
Although the most likely explanation for any voices heard in this wreckage would be a personal radio, cellphone, or other device, the searchers cannot assume there cannot be survivors. If a section of the fuselage remained intact, the decompression occurred at a lower altitude, and the fuselage section impacted against a large rock they have talked about with a glancing blow diagonal to the ground surface; it may just be possible the fuselage section absorbed enough of the shock of impact to reduce G-forces sufficiently to allow one or more occupants to have survived with serious injuries.
Could’ve been voices of the dead.
