BANGKOK, Thailand: Rescuers in Thailand are searching the dense jungle of Chachoengsao province for nine missing individuals after a turboprop plane crashed on Thursday.
The aircraft, traveling from Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi airport to Trat province, was carrying two pilots and seven passengers, including four Thais and five Chinese nationals, among them two children. Authorities fear all on board are dead.
The crash occurred around 3:10 pm, and despite heavy rainfall and difficult terrain, more than 300 military personnel and volunteers are continuing the search. Some body parts and aircraft debris have been recovered, but the challenging conditions are slowing progress. An investigation has been launched to determine the cause of the crash, and search efforts will persist until all victims are found, despite the adverse weather.
