Signs found of crashed Kenya Airlines plane

Signs have been found of a Kenya-bound plane that crashed in southern Cameroon with 114 people on board after sending out a distress signal.

Thomas Sobakam, chief of meteorology for the Doula airport from where the flight took off, refused to describe the signs, but said they were not pieces of wreckage.

He said a state radio report that the crash site had been located was premature. He refused further comment, stressing the search for the plane’s body continued.

Michael Okwiri, spokesman for Kenya Airways, said officials in Kenya had also received reports the plane had been found, but could not confirm them.

“We have the same information, that the crash site has been located about 100 miles from Douala,” he said. “We have people on the ground and there appears to be conflicting information.”
