TWENTY-ONE people died and three others were rescued after an MI-8 helicopter crash-landed in Russian Siberia's Yamal Peninsula due to poor weather conditions.
The two black boxes of the ill-fated helicopter have been found by rescue teams in Russia's northwestern Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Region in Siberia.
The injured have been taken to a nearby hospital for treatment.
"Both black boxes have been found - a flight data recorder and a voice recorder. After investigative procedures, they will be sent for decryption," Russia's RIA Novosti news agency quoted a source from Russia's Federal Agency for Air Transport (Rosaviatsia) as saying.
The source also said there were 22 passengers and three crew members aboard when the helicopter made the crash landing. One of the three injured survivors called the emergency department with a mobile phone.
Local emergency department has dispatched the first search and rescue team of 140 people to the site of the accident.
