For more on this and other news we turn to our Ro Aram…
Aram… horrific reports coming out from the crash site… run us through what happened….
Well Semin… the short haul AN-148 operated by Saratov Airlines took off for the city of Orsk on Sunday.
It was carrying 65 passengers and six crew members before it disappeared from radar just minutes after departing from Domodedovo Airport.
Eye witnesses described the plane being on fire as it went down.
Pieces of wreckage and bodies were found spread across a snow-filled Ramenskoye area, about 40 kilometers from the airport.
Officials are searching the field to look for bodies and any evidence that may help determine the cause of the incident.
One of the flight recorders was said to have been recovered and Russian officials have denied reports that the pilot reported a malfunction.
Among the possible causes they listed were weather conditions, human error and the plane's technical condition.
State news agency Tass said the plane, which had been flying since 2010, was out of service for two years because of a shortage of parts, but was put back in to service this month.
President Putin expressed his condolences to the victims' families and put off a planned trip to Sochi to monitor the investigation.
