The Russian Defense Ministry Tu-154 plane with 92 people on board
crashed in the Black Sea en route to Syria shortly after refueling at an airport in the resort city of Adler. Most of the passengers were members of the
Alexandrov Ensemble, who were traveling from Moscow to Hmeymim airbase in Syria to take part in New Year celebrations.
Earlier in the day, a source in Russia's security services told RIA Novosti that a technical failure and a pilot error are considered as main possible causes of the crash.
