Investigators search snow for clues to deadly Russian plane crashThe Antonov An-148 plane went down in a snow-covered field, making it difficult to access, with emergency workers forced to reach the wreckage by foot or on snowmobiles. The accident happened in Ramensky district around 70 kilometres (44 miles) southeast of Moscow on Sunday after the plane departed from Domodedovo airport outside the Russian capital and disappeared off the radar at 2:28 pm (1128 GMT). Sixty-five passengers and six crew members were on board and all of them died, the Investigative Committee said.
