MOSCOW (AP) -- A passenger plane crashed in Siberia shortly after taking off Monday morning, killing 32 of the 43 people on board, Russian emergency officials said. The 11 survivors were hospitalized in serious condition.




The Emergency Situations Ministry said 12 survivors were flown to a hospital by helicopter, but one of them died there.


In 2010, Poland's president and 95 other people died after their plane crashed near Smolensk, in western Russia.

In February, a pilot error was blamed for another crash in central Russia that killed 44 people, including a professional hockey team.
