    MOSCOW (Reuters) - An Armenian Airlines aircraft carrying about 100
    people on a flight from Yerevan to the Russian seaside resort of Sochi
    has crashed into the Black Sea, Russian media reported on Wednesday.

    RIA news agency said the emergencies ministry had sent an amphibious
    plane to the scene of the crash, and that fragments of the plane were
    visible on the surface of the sea.

    Ministry spokesman Viktor Beltsov was quoted as saying the plane was
    an Airbus 320 and had vanished from radar screens at 2.15 am (6:15
    p.m. EDT Tuesday) near Sochi, a Russian resort near the Georgian
    border.

    He said the plane was carrying at least five children, and that
    difficult weather conditions were complicating the search for
    survivors.
