    BLACK SEA AIR CRASH SEARCH TO FOCUS ON BLACK BOXES THURSDAY

    RIA Novosti, Russia
    May 10 2006

    SOCHI, May 10 (RIA Novosti) - Recovery teams are expected Thursday
    to focus on the search for the flight data recorders of an Armenian
    airliner that crashed off Russia's Black Sea coast last week, emergency
    services said Wednesday.

    The search effort will be restarted when the hydroacoustic equipment
    brought by French Airbus experts have been prepared, said Vladimir
    Yerygin, who oversees technological support for the operation to
    recover the black boxes. They are seen as the key to explaining why
    the Airbus crashed killing all 113 people on board.

    "The French experts brought the equipment yesterday, which will help
    locate the A-320 flight recorders," Yerygin said, adding that the
    four beacons were at the Sochi seaport at the moment and it might
    take six hours to deliver them onto boats and tune them.

    In all, 51 bodies have been recovered so far.
