A RUSSIAN passenger plane has crashed in remote mountains in the far east of the country.
The 49 people on board — including five children — are feared dead after the aircraft vanished in poor weather.
The aging An-24 aircraft, operated by Angara Airlines, had dropped off radar during a second landing attempt at Tynda airport in Amur region.
It had been flying the Khabarovsk–Blagoveshchensk–Tynda route and was battling low cloud and heavy rain when it disappeared.
