Yesterday afternoon, officials said they had recovered the aircraft's black box, which is now being examined to determine the cause of the crash.Last night, the prime minister's office said: 'The black box was recovered from the tail of the plane and has been sent to be analysed by experts.'It added that more than 45 ambulances have been dispatched to the crash site, with rescuers having recovered 129 victims' bodies so far.Ismail told reporters that experts will 'start examining the information in the plane's black box, and based on this we will study the causes of the crash'.

He also expressed scepticism about ISIS's claim that it carried out the attack in response to Russian strikes in Syria.The ISIS statement read: 'The soldiers of the caliphate succeeded in bringing down a Russian plane in Sinai.'However, Islami claimed: 'Experts have affirmed that technically planes at this altitude cannot be shot down, and the black box will be the one that will reveal the reasons for the crash,' according to state news agency MENA.Russian transport minister Maksim Sokolov also dismissed the ISIS claims.

He said: 'This information cannot be considered accurate. We are in close contact with our Egyptian colleagues and aviation authorities in the country. At present, they have no information that would confirm such insinuations.'*Neither official mentioned the terror group's video purporting to show the falling plane.*While the use of a surface-to-air missile has been dismissed as a potential cause of the crash by officials, an on-board bomb could be a possibility.*

Fatal disaster: Yesterday afternoon, German airline Lufthansa said they will no longer fly over the Sinai peninsula 'as long as the cause for [the] crash has not been clarified'. Air France later said the same. Above, debris from the crashed jet is pictured in the Sinai desert

Remote area: Security forces discovered the wreckage in a remote mountainous area in an area containing many ISIS-affiliated terrorists

Remains: This evening, the prime minister's office said: 'The black box was recovered from the tail of the plane and has been sent to be analysed by experts.' Above, Mr Ismail (far right, in a black suit) is seen looking at the remains of the crashed passenger jet in Hassana

A statement from an ISIS-linked group being broadcast on jihadist propaganda channels said: 'A Russian plane was dropped with the destruction of more than 220 Russian Crusaders, thankfully.'*However, the aircraft vanished from radar screens at 30,000 feet, more than double the effective range of a shoulder-carried ground-to-air weapon system.The group known as A3'Maq News used the headline: 'fighters of the Islamic State down a Russian passenger plane in the sky over the Egyptian Sinai.'It quoted a source as saying: 'This operation came in response to raids by Russian planes that have caused the deaths of hundreds of Muslims on Syrian territory, most of them women and children.'
