SOCHI, May 8 (RIA Novosti) – French specialists will arrive in Sochi
on Tuesday bringing equipment needed to search for the flight
recorders of an Armenian Airbus A-320 airliner that crashed off
Russia’s Black Sea coast last week, a Russian official said Monday.

Vladimir Derkunov, the head of the local search headquarters, said
the specialists would arrive late in the evening bringing equipment
capable of distinguishing the black boxes from the plane’s fuselage,
and flexible devices for extracting and lifting them.

Experts earlier said parts of the plane, which crashed killing all
113 people on board, had been discovered at a depth of 400-450 meters
(about 1,470 feet).
