Russian plane crashes in country's far east, nearly 50 people on board presumed dead
An Antonov An-24 passenger plane carrying about 50 people crashed in Russia's far east on Thursday, with initial information suggesting that everyone on board was killed, Russian emergency services officials said. The burning fuselage of the plane, which was from the Soviet era and nearly 50 years old, was spotted on the ground by a helicopter as rescue crews were rushing to the scene. An unverified video, shot from a helicopter and posted on social media, appeared to show that the plane had come down in a densely forested area. The plane, whose tail number showed it was built in 1976, was operated by a Siberia-based airline called Angara. The internal flight was en route from the city of Blagoveshchensk to Tynda and dropped off radar screens while approaching Tynda, a remote town in the Amur region bordering China. There were 43 passengers, including five children, and six crew members on board, according to preliminary data, Vasily Orlov, the regional governor, said. The emergencies ministry put the number of people on board somewhat lower, at around 40. Debris from the plane was found on a hill around 15 km from Tynda, the Interfax news agency quoted emergency service officials as saying. "During the search operation, a Mi-8 helicopter belonging to Rossaviatsiya discovered the fuselage of the aircraft, which was on fire," Yuliya Petina, an emergency services official, wrote on Telegram. "Rescuers continue to make their way to the scene of the accident." Authorities announced an investigation into the crash.
