Rescue work continues to recover bodies of Ukrainian air crash

Greek emergency teams are working through the night to recover the bodies of seventy-one Greek and Ukrainian passengers killed in the crash of a Ukrainian airliner on Wednesday.

Rescue workers found the broken up fuselage of the plane scattered in a remote gorge in the mountains above Salonika after mounting the biggest air, sea, and land operation in Greek history.

Experts are studying data from the black box of the plane, which crashed while trying to land after a flight from Kiev.

The rescue effort is being hampered by bad weather.
