Missing Indonesian jetliner 'did not send out distress signals'
A plane missing over Indonesia with 102 people on board did not send out distress signals or report mechanical problems before disappearing, a top aviation official said today, as search teams intensified their hunt for the Boeing 737.
A Singaporean Air force plane joined the massive air, land and sea search over Sulawesi Island, which got off to a bad start when authorities wrongly stated on Tuesday that the plane’s wreckage had been found and 12 people survived.
