  • the ground.

  • ROMAN SKLYAR, Kazakh Deputy Prime Minister (through translator): Today, we found two

  • consecutive sets of skidmarks from the tail end of the plane on the runway, meaning the

  • aircraft touched the runway twice while taking off.

  • Mostly passengers who were in the front part of the aircraft died. Flight recorders have

  • BENJAMIN NETANYAHU, Israeli Prime Minister (through translator): This is a huge victory,

  • two elections.

  • Back in this country, skies cleared up in Southern California today, following a massive
