Reuters SOCHI, Russia - All 113 passengers and crew on board an Armenian airliner were killed on Wednesday when the plane crashed into the Black Sea off the Russian coast in heavy rain and disintegrated, the Russian Emergencies Ministry said.
Investigators blamed the bad weather. The Airbus A-320 had been trying to land at Sochi, a popular holiday spot in southern Russia. Justice officials said they had no reason to suspect a bomb. Rescue workers in motorized dinghies criss-crossed heaving seas to search for survivors but a ministry spokeswoman said preliminary information was that everyone on board was dead. At least 39 bodies had been retrieved from the water by 0900 GMT, along with dozens of body parts. Russia's Channel One television showed rescue workers using boat hooks to retrieve jagged pieces of fuselage from the choppy water. Pieces of foam and fabric from the aircraft's seats were piled up on the quayside at Sochi's port. |

Shortly after the walls of one five-story brick warehouse collapsed, Fire Commissioner Nicholas Scoppetta said the cause of the 9-alarm fire would be investigated as possible arson. |
