Rescuers recover five more bodies from Philippine plane

Philippines rescuers have retrieved five more bodies from a twin-engine commuter airplane that crashed in Manila Bay.

Three British citizens and five Australians were among the dead.

The plane was carrying 34 people and airline officials said 15 - including the Fokker 27's two pilots - survived the crash.

Divers found the bodies of three men in the wreckage of Laoag International Airline flight 585, said Vice Admiral Reuben Lista, commander of the Philippine Coast Guard. Two other bodies were later found floating near the crash site.

Coast guard personnel have lifted the plane's main wreckage from the murky waters with two giant cranes.
