At the crash site of the Russian passenger plane Sukhoi Superjet in the Moscow region, fragments of the bodies of crew members were found, a representative told RIA Novosti of emergency services.
„Fragments of the pilots' bodies were found on Saturday night,”, he said.
Earlier on Saturday, the official representative of the Russian Investigative Committee, Svetlana Petrenko, announced that the black boxes of the crashed plane had been found and sent for decoding. Investigators are questioning witnesses and eyewitnesses to the incident, and the inspection of the scene continues.
As the Interstate Aviation Committee clarified, the flight recorders delivered to them were subjected to temperature effects and suffered significant mechanical damage, but the specialists were able to successfully copy all the flight information.
The plane crashed on July 12 in a forest near Kolomna. There were two pilots and a navigator on board, all of whom died. The Moscow Interregional Transport Prosecutor's Office stated that the plane belonged to "Gazprom Avia".
The Investigative Committee opened a criminal case. According to the received data, the plane took off from the factory after repairs and headed for Vnukovo Airport, but crashed near the village of Apraksino.
