The spotted crash site was a bit west of the guestimated area, reported at 04 49.289 S 140 29.953 E, and an altitude of 8,300 ft. The chance of survivors is reported to be "very slim".
The SAR team consisting of National SAR members, police and military personnel plus local resident volunteers have been making their way to the site on foot.
However, the terrain is very difficult -- around 14 km hike in thick jungle, fog with visibility of less than 3 feet. The SAR team was not able to reach the crash site today and will resume the hike tomorrow.
