Probe launched after fatal plane crash
Aviation officials at a relatively new airport in north-east China searched through debris today for clues to why a passenger jet crashed and burned while trying to land on a fog-shrouded runway, killing 42 people and injuring 54 others.
The Henan Airlines plane with 91 passengers and five crew crashed late yesterday in a grassy area near the Lindu airport on the outskirts of Yichun.
