Investigators have scoured the scene after a passenger plane crashed near Moscow minutes after take-off. It killed 71 people on board and become one of Russia's worst-ever plane crashes. Emergency workers reached the wreckage by foot and snowmobiles due to the crash site being enveloped by heavy snow.
Russia's Investigative Committee said it would consider explanations for the crash that include human error, technical failure and weather conditions.
