All victims from the missing Indonesian plane that crashed in the Mount Bulusaraung area of South Sulawesi province, have been found seven days after the crash.
Andi Sultan, an official at the National Search and Rescue Agency’s Makassar office, said the final body was recovered on Friday morning, according to Detik News.
According to him, eight of the dead were recovered earlier this week by rescue forces searching the slopes of Mount Bulusarong on Sulawesi island. Two more were found this morning.
The plane was carrying officials from the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries, who were on an aerial surveillance mission of the region’s resources.
So far, only two victims have been identified: cabin crew member Florencia Lolita and Deden Maulana.
The ATR 42-500 aircraft, operated by Indonesia Air Transport, lost contact on Saturday in the Maros district while en route from Yogyakarta to Makassar, the capital of South Sulawesi.
Debris from the plane was found on Sunday. The aircraft was carrying 10 people, including seven crew members and three passengers.
The plane’s black box was recovered from the crash site by the joint search and rescue team.
