Relatives gathered to mourn the 62 victims of a passenger jet crash in southern Russia on Sunday and officials warned an investigation could take weeks to determine the cause of the downing.
At Rostov-on-Don airport about 400 people paid their respects to the 55 passengers and seven crew who died when the Boeing 737-800, operated by Dubai-based budget carrier Flydubai, crashed in the early hours of Saturday.
Bereaved relatives laid red and white carnations on a growing pile of flowers, candles and children’s toys, framed by photos of the dead. “We mourn,” read an inscription listing the victims’ names.
