Xinhua/Sergei via Getty Images(MOSCOW) — Russian investigators said they’ve located and sent for analysis the data and voice recorders from the passenger jet that crash-landed on a Moscow runway Sunday.

Authorities are examining three likely theories for what led to the emergency landing, during which a fire broke out aboard the plane: a mishandling of technical inspections by the ground crew or inexperience among the pilots, an aircraft malfunction or poor weather conditions.
