Indonesia Plane Missing

Indonesia Plane Missing, carrying 16 people, disappeared over eastern Indonesia on Sunday, August, 2nd, 2009.

The Twin Otter plane (seen in the picture) was on a commercial flight over the remote Paupa region when it lost contact with ground officials.

Indonesia Plane Missing and search parties have looked for four hours, but there has been no sight of the plane. The aircraft was only carrying enough fuel to keep it in the air for 3 1/2 hours.

The plane was on a 50 minute flight from Sentani, a major airport in Papua, to the town of Oksibil.

Much of Papua is covered with impenetrable jungles and mountains. In the past, crashed planes have never been found, due to the terrain.
