No survivors yet found at Russian plane crash site in Indonesia

2^min

A rescue team arrived at the wreckage site of a Russian plane that crashed on an Indonesian mountain with up to 50 people on board and has not found any survivors so far, an official said on Thursday.

"We haven't found survivors," Gagah Prakoso, spokesman of the search and rescue team, told Indonesia's Metro TV.

A helicopter has spotted the shattered wreckage of a Russian-made passenger plane that crashed in Indonesia during a demonstration flight to potential buyers and journalists.

The plane fell off the radar immediately afterward.It was not clear why the Russian pilot and co-pilot asked to drop down, especially when it was so close to the 7,000-foot- (2,200-meter-) high mountain.Tapes between the pilots and air traffic control are being reviewed as part of the investigation, according to Tatang Kurniadi, chief of the National Commission on Safety Transportation.

More than 1,000 people, including soldiers and police, took part in the search and rescue efforts on Thursday.
