RESCUERS raced on Monday to reach debris in remote eastern Indonesian mountains believed to be from a plane that crashed carrying 54 people and cash worth more than six billion rupiah.
The plane operated by Indonesian carrier Trigana Air lost contact with air traffic control on Sunday afternoon in bad weather on a short flight from Jayapura, the capital of Papua province. The ATR 42-300 twin-turboprop plane was carrying 49 passengers and five crew on the journey to Oksibil, a settlement in the mountains to the south of Jayapura.
