I concur with your sentiments. As was the case with MH17, shot down and scattered across the eastern Ukraine, this new tragedy in the Sinai shows the zero understanding of the incumbent authorities and in-situ personnel (population) in dealing with events of this scale.
I applaud the quick actions taken by, inter alia, the British and Irish governments of suspending all flights to SES. A very short 24 hrs later the Russians eventually woke up and followed suit. Countries like Egypt, there are others too, will and are learning that in times of tragic events you either have the capability and capacity to deal with things or you don't. And if you don't then have the moral courage to let those who can get on with the job.

For lack of a better example - you need to crawl before you can walk and you need to walk before you can run.
