Beaches in Indonesia have been searched for debris from the missing Adam Air Boeing 737-400 that disappeared on 1 January.
Indonesian troops reportedly searched beaches over the weekend (13-14 January). According to Reuters, mostly small parts of the aircraft have been found at roughly the same location.
It has been suggested that the aircraft crashed into the sea off the west coast of Sulawesi island and broke up into small pieces.
First Air Marshal Eddy Suyanto, the head of the search mission, has said that the aim is to find the aircraft’s main body and the flight recorder.
