		</div><p>A top official at Metrojet, the Russian airline company whose flight crashed Saturday in Egypt, has insisted that a technical fault could not have caused the crash.</p>
<p>Alexander Smirnov, the deputy general director of Metrojet, said that no technical fault could have caused the Airbus A320-200 to break up in the air.</p>
<p>He says the cause of the crash “could only have been a mechanical impact on the plane” in the air.</p>
<p>Russian investigators say the plane broke up at high altitude but have so far refrained from naming possible causes.</p>
<p>The Metrojet crashed on Saturday morning 23 minutes after taking off from Sharm el-Sheikh, killing all 224 on board, the vast majority of them Russians.</p>
<p>Mr Smirnov said the plane lost speed right before the crash.</p>
<p>The plane dropped 300 kilometres per hour (186 miles per hour) in speed and 1.5 kilometres (about 5,000 feet) in altitude one minute before it crashed.</p>
