A Flydubai Boeing 737 jet crashed while attempting to land at a Russian airport Saturday, killing all 62 people on board, CNN reports. Bad weather was likely the cause of the crash, officials said.
The plane was headed from Dubai to Rostov-on-Don. The pilot had attempted to land more than two hours earlier, and, on the second attempt, clipped the jet's tail on the runway.
