ITAR-TASS, Russia
May 3 2006
MOSCOW, May 3 (Itar-Tass) – Russian Emergencies Ministry’s Yak-42
plane with psychologists and the commission of investigators from the
prosecutor-general’s office has left for Sochi, where an A-320 plane of
Armenia’s Armavia air carrier crashed in the small hours of Wednesday.
The plane will also deliver side-looking sonar system C-3000, which
allows to detect submerged objects at the distance up to three
kilometers.
The wreck of the A-320 plane was found on the seabed at a depth of
500-600 meters, the deputy director of the Emergencies Ministry’s
on-line control department, Andrei Legoshin, said.
“At such depths divers will be unable to work and special equipment –
minisubmarines and robots – are necessary,” he said.
Soon after the crash, a group of the Emergencies Ministry’s rescuers,
including divers, left for the site of the accident.
