    ANOTHER PLANE OF EMERGENCIES MIN LEAVES FOR SITE OF A-320 CRASH

    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.
