Four survivors, including three crew members and a passenger, were found Wednesday at the site of a helicopter crash in Russia\'s Far East, the Itar-Tass news agency reported. It was not immediately known if there were any other survivors. The Mi-8 helicopter, which was carrying a three-man crew and at least 25 passengers, crash landed Tuesday in Russia\'s far eastern republic of Yakutia (Sakha). The helicopter, owned by the Polyarnye Avialinii airline, was on a routine passenger transport flight when it failed to establish contact with air controllers. The helicopter crash landed 45 km from the originating point -- an airfield near the village of Deputatsky. Previous reports said 23 people were killed in the accident.
