A US Navy ship has picked up signals from the flight data recorders of an Indonesian plane that crashed into the sea on New Year’s Day with 102 people onboard, the US Embassy said today.

Parts of a plane that crashed with 102 people on board have been found by fishermen or washed to shore in north-west Indonesia today, 10 days after the plane disappeared in stormy weather, officials said.

A US Navy oceanographic survey ship was today trying to determine whether large pieces of round metal found off Sulawesi Island’s western coast were the wreckage of a Boeing 737 that disappeared more than a week ago carrying 102 people.

The US Navy will scour Indonesia’s western coast today for the wreckage of a Boeing 737 jet that disappeared in a storm more than a week ago with 102 passengers on board.
