Belsat has asked the residents of the Belarusian capital whether they are not afraid to fly to Egypt where a Russian plane crashed 10 days ago.[/vc_column_text][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4et5gKq6r0″][vc_column_text]’There were reports on TV that it was a terrorist attack. That is why I would be scared to fly there, in particular, to return from there.’
‘There is nothing to fear! Some people are even afraid to walk the streets.’
‘Yes, I am scared. But I think that if one has money, the world is big enough to find another place for spending a holiday.’
‘Airline companies do their best to ensure security, but if there is an opportunity to make oneself safe, they should use it.’
‘Unpleasant things may happen everywhere. For example, everything may occur when one is on holiday with children. Each country has its own risks – bulgaria is notorious for its viruses, something exploded in Egypt, a situation in Turkey is not easy. After we returned from Greece, we read news reports and said: ‘Thank God we are safe and sound!’ A holiday at the seaside is always chancy. Thus, choose Belarus! Have a holiday in your native country!
On October 31, a Russian Metrojet plane crash-landed shortly after take-off from Egypt’s Sharm el-Sheik resort. The plane had been en route to St Petersburg when it crashed 23 minutes into its journey, scattering bodies and fragments of the planes over a wide area in the Sinai Province.

The plane was carrying 217 passengers, including 25 children, there were seven crew members on board. All 224 people on the Airbus 321 – most of them Russians – died.
It is still not certain what led to the crash. A version of a terrorist attack has emerged after British secret services intercepted communications between militants in the Sinai Peninsula.
At their turn, the Russian authorities do not rule out that the plane crash was the result of ‘the Egyptian security services’ betrayal’, a source in the government told the Russian newspaper ‘Kommersant’.
