Indonesian Plane Crash: One Body Recovered

Wreckage and one body have been recovered from a small Indonesia Air Transport plane that crashed in eastern Indonesia. The aircraft, which departed from Yogyakarta for Makassar, lost contact with radar yesterday afternoon. Rescuers located parts of the plane, including the fuselage and wings, in a ravine approximately 200 meters deep. The recovered body is identified as a male, but formal identification is still pending. The plane was carrying 10 people, including three employees of the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries. Rescue operations are hampered by difficult terrain and fog.
