MOSCOW, August 17. /
TASS /. The Interstate Aviation Committee (IAC) continues to analyze the data
from the flight recorders of the A321 aircraft, which crashed on August 15 in
the Moscow Region, a source in the department told TASS on Saturday.
"The work with
black boxes in the laboratory continues, information is being analyzed,"
the source said. He noted, "it is premature to talk about the end of the
decoding of the recorders."
On Thursday, an Ural
Airlines Airbus A321, headed from Moscow to Crimea’s Simferopol, performed an
emergency landing in the countryside near Zhukovsky International Airport.
According to the Federal Air Transport Agency, the plane suffered a bird strike
shortly after takeoff. The crew managed to land the plane in a cornfield and evacuate
all the passengers. There were over 230 people, including 41 children, aboard
the aircraft.
A criminal
investigation has been launched into the circumstances of the emergency
landing.
