Bodies remain at Polish plane crash site

WARSAW, Poland, April 13 (UPI) -- Six bodies of Polish officials killed in a weekend plane crash in Russia were trapped under debris Tuesday, search officials said.

Crews worked around the clock to build an access road to the crash site to enable a crane to be brought in to lift parts of the fuselage, the daily Rzeczpospolita newspaper said.

The Saturday crash of the Tu-154 jet short of the runway at Smolensk in heavy fog killed President Lech Kaczynski and his wife Maria, along with 94 other government and military officials and flight crew.

The newspaper said 40 of the bodies have been identified.

The president's body was returned to Poland Sunday and his wife's body returned Tuesday, the Krakow Post reported.

Russian officials said early analysis of the flight recorders showed the pilots made two landing attempts before the crash and were speaking to air traffic controllers in Russian and English before the jet crashed and burned over 15 acres, TVN24 said.
