A villager in Indonesia's North Sulawesi province was reported Tuesday of having seen a wreckage of a white-painted plane but it cannot be immediately confirmed that it was the Boeing 737-400 that went missing on Jan. 1.
A man identified only as Katili said he saw the wreckage when hunting wild boars in the jungles of Sangtombolang district on the northern coats of Sulawesi island and immediately told local police and military officers, reported leading news website Detik.com.
The search and rescue team was on the way to the said wreckage location.
The plane belonging to Jakarta-based Adam Air is believed to have crashed with 102 people onboard during a journey to the North Sulawesi capital of Manado amid bad weather.
