Russian investigators said they located the data and voice recorders from a passenger jet that crash-landed on a Moscow runway Sunday and sent them in for analysis, as the State Department confirmed an American was among 41 people killed.
Authorities are examining several theories about what led to the emergency landing, including a mishandling of technical inspections by the ground crew, inexperience among the pilots, an aircraft malfunction and poor weather conditions. Russia's transportation minister told reporters Monday that 41 bodies have been recovered from the burned wreckage at Moscow's Sheremetyevo Airport. The State Department confirmed reports that an American was among those killed.
"The U.S. Department of State extends our deepest condolences to the families and friends of those killed in the Aeroflot SU 1492 accident," a State Department official said in a statement."We can confirm the death of one U.S citizen and are providing all appropriate consular services to the family of the deceased."

Pilot blames lightning strike, full fuel tanks for fiery Moscow landing that killed 41The Aeroflot captain who landed a fiery Superjet 100 in Moscow says full fuel tanks may have prompted the inferno that killed 41 of the 78 people aboard. If I'm not mistaken the other fatal crash you mention was down to pilot error due to being distracted by a potential buyer sat in the cockpit which caused him to go off course and the pilot ignored the warning systems for terrain. Completely different to this recent case .
