Myanmar's military said Thursday searchers have found 10 bodies and pieces of plane debris believed to be from a military aircraft that went missing Wednesday with 122 people on board. A statement said the bodies included six adults and four children. There were also pieces of luggage, life jackets and a plane wheel found in the waters about 35 kilometers from the southern city of Launglon. Nine naval ships and a group of airplanes and helicopters were sent out Thursday to search for the Chinese-made Y-8-200F plane, which Myanmar bought in March of last year and which the military said had 809 flying hours. The plane, carrying mostly family members of military personnel, was traveling from the city of Myeik, also known as Mergui, in southeastern Myanmar on the Andaman coast. Most of the journey to Yangon, Myanmar's largest city, would have been over the Andaman Sea. 缅甸军方星期四表示，搜救人员发现了据信是星期三失踪的一架军机上遇难乘客的10具遗体和一些飞机残骸。这架军机上当时载有122人。 声明说，这些遗体包括6名成人和4名儿童。在距离缅甸南部城市浪弄大约35公里的水域，还发现了行李、救生衣的碎片以及一只飞机轮胎。 星期四，9艘海军船只和一些飞机及直升机被派遣搜索这架中国制造的运-8-200F飞机。这架飞机是去年3月购买的，缅甸军方表示，飞机飞行时间总计809小时。 |
