The Federal Security Service (FSB) is searching for six passengers removed from one of the two planes that crashed for being intoxicated.
Six young people were not allowed to board the Tu-154 plane that was flying to the Caucasus resort of Sochi. It is not yet clear whether their names are in the list of the dead, RosBusinessConsulting news agency reported.
Information that the plane had been hijacked by terrorist is being checked.
A source in the aviation industry quoted by the agency said that the security officials were checking reports of several people flying in the other crashed plane, the Tu-134 that went from Moscow to Volgograd, instead of two passengers that were late.
Glad you posted that here; I was in the process of doing that myself since I just finished reading your thread. So it is possible the casualty count will be lowered.
