Airbus specialists working at the scene of the Armenian plane crash on
the Black Sea have detected a radio signal, possibly from the plane's
black box flight recorders, a Russian emergency official told the
RIA Novosti news agency on Thursday.
The official added that the signal was very weak and they were not
sure of the exact location of the devices. Experts are using special
equipment while searching for flight data recorders from the A-320,
lying at the depth of about 500 meters (1,640 feet) below the surface
of the water, 5 km from the shore.
The plane, owned by Armenian Airlines, crashed at 02:15 local time
(22:15 GMT) as it made an attempt to land at an airport near the
Russian resort town of Sochi. Initial reports suggest bad weather
was the cause of the tragedy. Analysis of the plane's black boxes
may give more information to allow emergency services to confirm or
disprove the theory.
