of the crash site that emerged online after the tragedy the footage was apparently shot by locals the plane came down near a village about sixty kilometers southeast of moscow and the plane was heading to or city close to the russian border with kazakhstan it took off from airport in the russian capital four minutes later the plane disappeared from radar investigators say that the crew did not report any irregularities to air traffic control before tragedy struck. this is a bird's eye view of the crash side which is spread over a large area around six hundred people are involved in the search effort record snowfall over the past week has made their task especially difficult our correspondent reports. rescue is here working in shifts there are dozens and dozens of not hundreds of them but one part of one group works at the crash sites another group breasts and then they switch.

rescuers a also making use of snowmobiles ferrying supplies to and from the crash site itself because there's a lot of snow at the crash site that the jet crashed into a field more trucks and equipment for arriving every hour heaviest stuff the conditions at the crash site are first the visible because of this though they were. obviously they want to get this crash site in order quickly is another ambulance moved likely carrying the remains of another victim or perhaps victims judging by the frequency by which these are passing us the rescue operation is proceeding rapidly lugol's have also been describing what they've seen. my friend say the bang was so loud said the windows almost

shouted. i was watching the t.v. and the band everyone. yes i heard a loud klopp i was lining the whole bad lifted up and my cats hit it was really loud. i would see it sounded like an explosion our house bounced. reports initially were contradictory some people said that the aircraft was. on fire while in the air others described a huge explosion when it crashed about a kilometer from here. is clearing away the snow on the roads there's already been a lot of speculation a lot of discussion as to the potential possible causes of this crash but investigators say they'll be looking at everything from possible technical malfunctions to human error to weather conditions and it's probably best to let the

men and woman digging through the wreckage do their job and to give us a definitive conclusive on system what caused this tragedy. the plane was a russian made owned by some airlines it was eight years old and had maximum speed of eight hundred twenty kilometers per hour and one forty eight is capable of carrying up to eighty passengers the airline is now being examined by be authorities but the company claims it carried out all the necessary technical maintenance however this particularly plane was previously involved in several security incidents including engine and chassis problems as the investigation continues we discussed the tragedy with three experts who shared their thoughts on some possible costs. like to extend my thoughts and prayers to all the families of the passengers and crew and the airline staff in the wake of this tragedy the weather is probably the primary factor that depends a lot on the rate of the snowfall or precipitation and how long the airplane had

been sitting on the ground collecting all that material so if the airplane had only been on the ground maybe thirty minutes maybe not so much accumulated if had been there a couple of hours obviously a lot more could have accumulated in that case if the airplane was not sprayed with the icing fluid there would be a more serious. result you know so the fact that the airplane became airborne and climbed to six thousand feet tells me that probably the airplane was in pretty good shape at the time of the takeoff we're dealing with a great great tragedy i feel very badly and we're communicating in such a context with the tragedy there are common protocol for an investigation through various aspects of security and safety factor. a few things really briefly would be the structural integrity of the aircraft the fuselage the engines and so on then you look at energy from whether we're talking on electric

systems how it for the engine things the facts that are. going to really anomalies external to any aircraft that could include anything from up bird strike a missile strike a collision with another aircraft interaction with unusual weather phenomena and then lastly you have to look out about human issues that could possibly think the thing they call when shit where the wind just suddenly goes straight up and alters the kind of tryst the plane also we have to consider whether it is icing whether they probably the plane before it. could be that size built very quickly on the wings and that might affect the flying ability of the plane so these are all considerations that have to be part of the overall investigation. well morals have been set up across the or in bergen region where sixty of the passengers were from

local authorities have declared monday a day of mourning artie's many reports now from moscow's don't want good of an airport. the aircraft that crashed just outside moscow departed from this very airport the why did the east wind off this three major air transport hubs in the capital and after the tragedy it remains fully operational but over and the small city of course the airport there tells a very different story the shock has paralyzed it most of the sixty five passengers on board of that plane were from bats reachin dozens of family and friends were waiting for them there their scene is absolute grief a speak will come to terms with what has happened emergency crews are present at the airport and psychologists are ready to help those trying to cope with their loss the passengers who were due to fly back to moscow on the crash aircraft are handing back their tickets and even

to here at this fast paced airport which is forced to keep moving this tragedy has hit hard. one man had a lock on his side after he canceled his ticket one day before the flight maxime. who turned thirty seven this sunday was due to fly back to or so to celebrate his birthday with his family but changed his plans and he says he still can't grasp what happened. so i saw the news and what can i say i felt a chill down my spine and everyone says i was born under a lucky star that's not true it's just a coincidence i express my sorrow in the deepest sympathies to the relatives of the pirates it's scary. over the past a decade almost four hundred lives have been lost in russian plane crashes and the tragedies still weigh heavy for me.

now a quick recap a passenger plane with seventy one people on board has crashed shortly after takeoff from moscow's domodedovo airport leaving no survivors most of the victims were from the orenburg region of russia where the plane was heading the cause of

the tragedy is so far are known of course we will keep you up to date as information comes in to our newsroom. was. a plate for many flips over the years so i know the game inside. the ball isn't only about what happens on the pitch for the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the super money joe killian erroneous and spending two to twenty million album fly a. book it's an experience like nothing else on here because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful guy was great so what will chance for. peace this minute.
