ANNOUNCER: This is CNN breaking news.</s>BALDWIN: Breaking news here as we start the next hour on CNN. I'm Brooke Baldwin. This is big. The deadly downing of that Russian airliner over Egypt was not an accident. This is what we are also now hearing from an affiliate citing European investigators. Recordings on the black box here, the flight data recorder, on these boxes, revealing the sound of an exPLOsion, heard from the cockpit on board this MetroJet aircraft before it crashed into the Sinai while an examination of the flight data recorder shows no sign of mechanical malfunction.

Because if the plane was just flying along and something went wrong, it would be several minutes before the plane fell out of the sky, even if there was a catastrophic failure of the airplane.
