 POLEWALI, Indonesia (AP) - Indonesian air force planes took to the skies and navy ships scoured the sea Thursday, searching for a missing jetliner and its passengers, including an Oregon man and his two daughters.
After a fruitless day of searching Wednesday, rescuers resumed their duties Thursday. Earlier this week, officials wrongly reported finding the Boeing 737's wreckage and a dozen survivors, causing anguish among the passengers' families.
Gen. Eddy Suyanto, the Indonesian air force officer in charge of the search, said Thursday that the weather was clear but that wind, rain and cloud forecast for later in the day would likely bring a halt to the air mission.
