Local emergency services said Thursday that the remains of the plane crashed while carrying 49 people were found in Russia’s Far East.
Russia’s Ministry of Emergency has said it has discovered the fiery fuselage of an airplane on the hillside south of the planned destination in Tinda town.
Images of the reported clash scene circulating by Russian state media show fragments scattered in dense forests surrounded by feathers of smoke.
The Russian airline cited an unknown source in emergency services, suggesting that there were no survivors, and the site’s initial aviation test suggested there were no survivors. The source also said the area had difficult weather conditions.
The Far East Transportation Prosecutor’s Office reported that the crash site was 15 kilometers (9 miles) south of Tinda. The office said in an online statement that the plane attempted a second approach while trying to land when contact with the plane was lost.
43 passengers, six crew members, including five children, were on an AN-24 passenger plane as they moved from the town of Blagoveshchensk on the Russian-China border to the town of Tinda, Gov. Vasily Orlov said.
Russia’s Ministry of Emergency Reports 48 people run by Siberia-based Angara Airlines are on the way. The reason for the contradiction was not immediately clear.
Authorities have launched an investigation into a flight safety violation that has resulted in multiple deaths, a standard procedure for aviation accident.
