[quote:Bes Maat:MV8yOTk3MTA4XzUzMTE1NDEzXzJGMkMyREVB] If you’re a passenger, and the following occurs, don’t panic – it’s most likely an explosive decompression. The first sign is always a loud bang, as if an explosion had taken place during flight. The loud bang is often followed by violent jerks. You may see clouds of condensed air forming almost immediately. You will feel the flow of air rushing out of the plane. Oxygen masks will drop down in front of you and the other passengers. You may see loose items fly through the cabin and out of the plane, as the air flows through the aircraft. http://www.decodedscience.org/what-happens-in-an-explosive-decompression-during-flight/17198 Don't panic - yeah right [/quote]

While many have speculated that a missile may have struck a Russian commercial airliner that went down over Egypt's Sinai peninsula, U.S. officials are now saying satellite imagery doesn't back up that theory.
A senior defense official told NBC News late Monday that an American infrared satellite detected a heat flash at the same time and in the same vicinity over the Sinai where the Russian passenger plane crashed.
According to the official, U.S. intelligence analysts believe it could have been some kind of explosion on the aircraft itself, either a fuel tank or a bomb, but that there's no indication that a surface-to-air missile brought the plane down.
