Russia plane crash: Pilot error suspected

Russian aviation experts say the pilots of a Boeing 737 jet which crashed in Kazan on Sunday carried out a manoeuvre that put the plane into a dive, the BBC reported.

During a second attempt to land, the pilots switched to manual control and made a correction when the plane lost speed, the investigators said.

But the jet then nose-dived and crashed on to the tarmac, killing all 50 people on board.

According to the initial findings, the jet did not have any technical faults.
