-Searchers spot wreckage of missing Indonesia plane
A search plane has spotted the wreckage of an Indonesian passenger plane that went missing with 54 people onboard, rescue officials said on Monday, after villagers in Papua reported finding the crashed jet.There was no immediate word if there were any survivors from the crash, which happened in bad weather on Sunday in Indonesia’s mountainous easternmost province of Papua.
Officials said the wreckage was spotted about 12 kilometers (7 miles) from Oksibil, and Henry Bambang Soelistyo, the chief of the National Search and Rescue Agency, said search and rescue teams were preparing to try to reach the crash site by air and foot.
Search planes went into the air early Monday after residents of a village not far from Oksibil told local police that they saw a plane flying low before crashing into a mountain, said Ludiyanto, who heads the search and rescue operation from Jayapura.Ludiyanto, who like many Indonesians goes by one name, said that rugged, forested terrain and bad weather were hindering the search.
Local media reports said all the passengers are Indonesians. The airline has not released a passenger manifest.
European plane maker ATR said in a statement late Sunday that it “acknowledges the reported loss of contact” with the Trigana flight “and is standing by to support the relevant aviation authorities.”ATR, based in Toulouse, France, makes regional planes with 90 seats or less.

-It is important that they find the money or at least nearly all of it. Otherwise it adds another mystery to the sad event. Was it actually ever on board?

-They supposedly recovered all the bodies so therefore surely money (notes) should either have been floating around everywhere or the box/case it was in should have also been located with it's contents intact.
This aspect has all gone quiet.
The poor who this money was supposedly destined for wait like "Waiting for Godo".
Virtual money (never on board) or does it bring back shades of the movie "Cliffhanger"?:applause:
