Pilot documents forged in Russia hockey team crash

The pilot of a plane that crashed last year, wiping out a professional Russian ice hockey team, had been granted permission to fly it based on forged documents, federal investigators said on Thursday. The pilot and co-pilot of the Yak-42 plane "had not undergone the necessary training to fly this type of aircraft", Vladimir Markin, spokesman for Russia's top investigative agency, said in televised comments.
