MOSCOW, May 3 (Xinhua) -- An Armenian passenger plane
with 100 people on board crashed early Wednesday into the Black Sea off the
coast of the southern Russian resort of Sochi, Russian media reported.
Debris from the Armenian passenger aircraft has been
spotted in the Black Sea some six km from shore, but so far no passengers or
crew have been found, the Itar-Tass news agency quoted the Russian emergency

information department, as saying.
Beltsov said the plane was carrying 92 passengers,
including five children, and eight crew members.
The emergencies ministry had sent an amphibious plane
to the scene of the crash, the RIA news agency said. Enditem |
