Armenia A320 crash

MOSCOW, Russia (CNN) -- An Armenian Airlines jet carrying 100 people on a flight from Yerevan has crashed into the Black Sea near the Russian resort of Sochi, authorities say.

The Airbus A320 disappeared from radar in bad weather early Wednesday, and rescuers found parts of the plane, baggage and life jackets about four miles (six kilometers) from the coast, Russian officials said

Controllers lost contact with the plane shortly after 3:30 a.m. Wednesday (11:30 p.m. Tuesday GMT), Victor Beltsov, a spokesman for the Russian Emergency Services Ministry, said.

The pilot had reported no problem before the crash.

The plane had been traveling from the Armenian capital of Yerevan to Sochi, Beltsov said.

Just what I need with my trip to Washington in less than two weeks.

I'm flying on an Airbus 319.
