ONE woman hurt in Monday's Tu-134 plane crash in northern Russian eventually died in Moscow yesterday, bringing the incident's death toll to 46, authorities said today.
"The female had very serious injuries and burns. She died in hospital," a spokesman from the health ministry told reporters.
The RusAir's passenger plane, with 52 people on board, crash-landed in Russia's northern republic of Karelie late Monday. Initially eight people survived and were taken to hospitals. On Wednesday, one of them, a 10-year old boy, died.
The fuselage was totally destroyed and caught fire as the plane was trying to land on a highway near the airport in heavy fog. Preliminary investigation suggested it may hit a power line during the landing.
