Indonesia search and rescue says ‘likely’ all 189 aboard crashed jet dead

JAKARTA, Oct 29, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – All 189 passenger and crew aboard a
crashed Indonesian jet were “likely” killed in the accident, Indonesia’s
search and rescue agency said Monday, as it announced it had found human
remains.

“My prediction is that nobody survived because the victims that we found,
their bodies were no longer intact and it’s been hours so it is likely 189
people have died,” agency operational director Bambang Suryo Aji told
reporters.
