Plane crash rescue bid hampered by terrain

Rescuers have yet to detect the plane’s black boxes and news of survivors depends on a team trekking slowly towards the mountainous area, said the rescue official overseeing the search.
“If it collided into a mountain, there has never been a case of survivors. But who knows, let’s wait,” said Major-General Heronimus Guru, operations director at Indonesia’s National Search and Rescue Agency.
