IN PHOTOS: Debris, bodies of passengers of crashed Indonesian plane
The plane went missing 6 days ago. There were no survivors.

MAKASSAR, Indonesia – All 10 bodies of the passengers of Aviastar plane that went missing Friday, October 2 has been found.

There were no survivors.

The crash victims included 3 crew members and 7 passengers, including 3 children. Of the bodies, 7 were burnt, while 3 were intact. The two black boxes were also recovered in good condition.

The cause of the crash has yet to be identified.

The plane went missing Friday shortly after taking off from a remote airport on Sulawesi island en route for the city of Makassar to the south.

The debris of the Twin Otter DHC-6 plane was discovered Monday afternoon in jungles on the island, along with some of the victims, after teams of rescuers, planes and boats were deployed on a massive search.

Compensation will be paid to the families of the victims from Makassar, Surabaya, Jakarta and Papua, although Aviastar’s General Manager of Commercial Development Business, Peter Budi Prasetyo acknowledged, “We know it will not bring back the victims and the grief of the families left behind.”

Aviastar is an Indonesian domestic passenger airline.

Indonesia, a sprawling archipelago of more than 17,000 islands, has a poor aviation safety record and has suffered a string of deadly crashes in recent times.

In August, 54 people were killed when a plane crashed in remote Papua province, while an AirAsia aircraft went down last year in the Java Sea with the loss of 162 lives.
