Wreckage of Russian passenger jet found
Indonesian authorities have spotted the wreckage of a Russian Sukhoi passenger plane that went missing during a demonstration flight.
Rescuers are attempting to reach the wreckage near the dormant volcano Mount Salak, close to the city of Bogor in West Java.
There are thought to be about 50 people on board.
Russia’s first post-Soviet civilian jet vanished from radar screens less than an hour into what was meant to be a short flight to show off its capabilities to prospective buyers.
Executives from Indonesia’s Batavia Airlines, Pelita Air, Air Aviastar, and Sriwijaya Air were reportedly aboard the plane, according to a Russian news website
