MOSCOW (AP) — A plane carrying 28 people has apparently crashed as it came in for a landing in bad weather in Russia’s Far East. Everyone aboard was feared dead. Officials said the An-26 plane was on approach Tuesday for a landing in fog and clouds when it missed a scheduled communication and disappeared from radar. It was heading to the airport in the town of Palana. Russia’s state aviation agency said that parts of the plane were found about 3 miles from the airport’s runway, near the coast line. Russia’s Pacific Fleet told news agencies that part of the fuselage was found on the side of a mountain and another part was floating in the Okhotsk Sea.
