THE bodies of all 18 people who were on board a plane that crashed into the jungle-covered mountains of western Indonesia were recovered from the wreckage yesterday, an official said.
The Spanish-designed CASA C-212 lost contact with air traffic control early on Thursday while flying from North Sumatra to Aceh province. Minutes later, it sent out a distress signal, then dropped off the radar.
Rugged, forested terrain and bad weather had prevented rescuers from reaching the crash site by foot.
Early yesterday, 13 rescuers were lowered by helicopter by rope to the crash site. The bodies included all 14 passengers and four crew members.
"They found the bodies in their seats with their seat belts on," Sunarbowo Sandi, head of the local search-and-rescue team, said from his monitoring post in a village near the crash site.
