Divers search for 113 people killed in crash

Boats laden with dead bodies and twisted metal sailed into the palm-fringed harbour of Sochi, Russia, today, carrying the remains of some of the 113 people who died when an Armenian airliner smashed into the Black Sea.

The plane went down about 2:15am (11.15 Irish time Tuesday) in heavy rain and poor visibility as it was approaching the airport in Adler, about 12 miles south of Sochi, a city wedged between the sea and soaring snow-capped mountains.
