Fears grow for missing Indonesian plane
An Indonesian passenger plane carrying 102 people disappeared in stormy weather today, and rescue teams were sent to search an area where military aviation officials feared the Boeing 737-400 aircraft may have crashed.
Transport Minister Hatta Radjasa said a radio communication was picked up over central Sulawesi, a major island in the Indonesian archipelago about 750 kilometres from the Adam Air flight’s destination. He said emergency crews were on their way to search for survivors.
