Thursday October 4 8:35 AM ET Russian Plane with 76 Aboard Plunges Into Black Sea MOSCOW (Reuters) - A Russian plane from Tel Aviv carrying up to 76 people crashed into the Black Sea off Russia on Thursday and an Emergencies Ministry official said the disaster was believed to have been caused by an explosion. ``Presumably it was caused by an explosion,'' the official of the ministry's North Caucasus branch told Mayak radio. Interfax news agency quoted the domestic FSB security service as saying that an ``act of terror'' on board was one of several theories being investigated because of the tense international situation. A ministry spokeswoman said the three-engine TU-154 belonging to Sibir airline and flying from Israel's Ben-Gurion airport to the Siberian city of Novosibirsk went down some 110 miles off Russia. ``The information coming from the scene is being investigated now,'' Interfax quoted the FSB as saying. ``Taking into account the latest events in the world, the theory of a terrorist act is being investigated first of all.'' The reference to ``latest events'' was to the international crisis following the September 11 suicide hijacker attacks in the United States in which 6,000 people were killed or feared missing. An FSB spokesman contacted by telephone could not confirm this report. Interfax said a pilot of an Armenian plane flying in the area said he saw a passenger plane exploding in the air and disintegrating into the sea. The ministry spokeswoman said crews of at least two planes saw the TU-154 fall, but could not immediately confirm reports that it had exploded. The ministry spokeswoman said the sea was 3,000 feet deep where the plane went down.
