Salvage workers Thursday located one of the two black boxes from an
Armenian jetliner that crashed into the Black Sea Wednesday off the
Russian coast.
The A-320 crash killed all 113 aboard. Twenty-eight of the 53 bodies
recovered so far have been identified, a spokesman for the Russian
General Prosecutor’s Office told the Itar-Tass news agency.
Some 18 ships and 11 launches from the southern port of Sochi were
involved in the recovery effort. Victims’ relatives were housed in two
hotels and provided with food and medical attention, Itar-Tass said.
The plane was en route from the Armenian capital of Yerevan to Adler
when it went down.
Investigators have ruled out terrorism in the crash.
