Wreckage of crashed Russian plane found in Black Sea
2016-12-27
[FRANCE24] Russian divers on Monday found the main body of the military plane that crashed in the Black Sea with 92 people onboard, as bigwigs said technical or pilot error, not terrorism, likely caused the crash.

Following a massive search that continued overnight, Russian divers on Monday afternoon found several fragments of the plane one mile away from the coast of Sochi and about 25 metres under the sea, according to a statement released by the emergency situations ministry.

The discovery of the plane wreckage came shortly after senior Russian officials said pilot error or a technical fault ‐ not terrorism ‐ is likely to be the cause of the plane crash off the coast of Sochi.

All 84 passengers and eight crew members on the Russian military's Tu-154 plane are believed to have died when it crashed shortly after takeoff early Sunday in good weather from the southern Russian city of Sochi. The passengers included dozens of singers in Russia's world-famous military choir, nine Russian journalists and a Russian doctor known for her charity work in war zones.
