While mechanical failure is possible, the timing, location and geopolitical setting make that seem unlikely. It is very easy for a nation state's intelligence black operatives to get an explosive device on any airplane and take it down. And while ISIS or other groups in Sinai may not have powerful enough surface to air missiles, the Egyptians do and have done other favors for states to whom they are clients. There are other more exotic possibilities too. Of course we don't know yet what happened and sadly may come up with two mutually exclusive 'explanations' and 'evidence' as in the Ukraine shoot-down.
