 CANBERRA, Australia (AP) - Police recovered the flight recorder and began removing bodies Monday from a plane that went down in a rain forest, killing all 15 aboard in Australia's worst civil aviation accident in almost four decades.
The twin-propeller plane, with two pilots and 13 passengers, was heading to Lockhart River, a remote Aboriginal community and artist colony in Queensland, when it crashed Saturday in the rain and burst into flames about seven miles from its destination, police said.
The plane's flight recorder, recovered Sunday, was sent to a Canberra laboratory for analysis. Authorities began recovering bodies from the remote crash site on Monday.
