|
Russia's Emergencies Ministry personnel search through the debris of a Tupolev Tu-134 plane for victims at the plane crash site near Tula, some 150 km (93 miles) from Moscow, August 25, 2004. Volga-Aviaexpress, a small regional carrier which owned the Tu-134, said the crew did not report any problems onboard before the plane collapsed with 43 passengers and crew late Tuesday evening. Two Russian passenger planes crashed almost simultaneously late on Tuesday, killing all 89 people on board. The planes took off from the same Moscow airport and disappeared from air traffic controllers' radar screens within minutes of each other late on Tuesday. (Reuters)
