    Comm of interstate aviation comm flies to Adler to probe air crash

    A committee of the Interstate Aviation Commission headed by its
    chairwoman Tatyana Anodina flied to Adler to investigate the causes
    of the crash of an airliner A-320 belonging to the Armenian airlines
    Armavia. The most experienced specialist of the Interstate Aviation
    Commission - deputy chairman of the commission Leonid Kashirsky is in
    charge of the technical investigation, spokesman for the Interstate
    Aviation Commission Oleg Ermolov told Itar-Tass.

    According to him, the Armenian aviation authorities provided all
    available information to the committee. "However, it will be very
    difficult to find the flight recorders because of a big depth at the
    crash site of the airliner and a thick layer of silt (more than 100
    meters)," the specialist pointed out.

    Technical director for security problems of the Interstate Aviation
    Commission Rudolf Teimurazov earlier told Itar-Tass that it will be
    difficult to find the flight recorders as the debris of the airplane
    is lying at the depth of two kilometers. He noted that the airplane
    fell at the depth of 500 meters at the crash moment, but then sank
    down deeper because of the hilly sea bottom.
