FlyDubai flight Crashed in Russia


Russian authorities have confirmed that all the passengers and crew members on board the FlyDubai flight, which crashed while landing in Russia, were killed. There were 55 passengers and six crew on board the plane. Russia's emergencies ministry said the aircraft, a Boeing 737-800 operated by Dubai-based budget carrier FlyDubai, crashed at 03:50 (0030 GMT) at the airport in Rostov-on-Don

"Unfortunately, they all died," Viktor Yanutsenko, an emergencies ministry official helping coordinate the emergency response, was quoted as saying by Russia's RIA news agency.
Zhanna Terekohova, an advisor to the Russian transport minister, told state television possible causes of the crash included pilot error and poor weather conditions.
Local officials said at the time of the crash, there was strong, gusting winds in the Rostov area. The aircraft had to abandon an initial attempt to land at Rostov, its scheduled destination, and came down while making a repeat attempt, according to an emergencies ministry statement.
