Russian plane crash probe progressing

Working in difficult conditions, the investigators into the crash of Sunday’s Saratov Airlines flight out of Moscow are making slow progress in putting together a picture of what happened.

Investigations are continuing into why a Saratov Airlines passenger jet crashed moments after taking off from Moscow.

All 71 people on board lost their lives.

Authorities are searching through the wreckage to try to find out what caused the crash, while family members have given DNA samples to aid in the identification efforts.
