In late December, Russia's Tu-154 passenger plane crashed in the Black Sea. None of the 92 people aboard survived.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Rescuers will continue working at the Tu-154 crash site in the Black Sea as long as needed, Russia's Emergencies Minister Vladimir Puchkov said Sunday.

"In the Black Sea, rescuers from the South regional Emergencies Ministry search and rescue unit and divers continue the scheduled work. We have organized constant cooperation with our colleagues in the Defense Ministry… It will continue as long as needed," Puchkov told RIA Novosti.
