The Foreign Office has halted flight to Sharm el Sheikh on the basis that it is possible the plane which broke up in mid air soon after leaving the resort, may have been the victim of terrorism. A bomb is suspected.
A couple of days ago the Russians were denying Islamic State could have been involved and suggesting the plane simply broke up.
I've never been to Sharm, it isn't somewhere that has appealed to me but I know many people who have enjoyed the 5* hotels, winter sunshine etc. I feel for the Egyptians who work in the hotels, tourism has been dwindling in recent times. I also feel angry that it seems the terrorists are succeeding in causing mayhem in Muslim countries where a more secular society has been growing and western tourists enjoying the hospitality.
What's to be done!
How does a 'lived experience' differ from an 'experience'?
