Chile's Air Force Plane Crash Killed 21 on Board - - Updates: 4 Bodies Recovered, 17 Still Missing

SANTIAGO, September 4, 2011 – Four unidentified dead bodies have been recovered after a Chilean air force plane crashed in the Pacific Ocean with 21 people on board. 

Members of the Chilean navy transport the landing gear of a crashed plane near Juan Fernandez islands about 420 miles off Chile's coast, Sept. 3.

"So far we have found two female bodies and two male bodies; in none of the cases have they been identified," said Air Force chief Maximiliano Larraechea.

The twin-propeller military plane crashed last night off the Juan Fernandez Archipelagos, 600 kilometers (375 miles) west of Chile. The air force earlier said that as the aircraft was "getting closer to the island, radio communication with the plane was lost," prompting a search effort to be launched by Chile's navy and air force.

The definite cause of the plane crash is still not established but strong winds were believed to be causing the light aircraft to be blown from its landing plan.

The air force earlier said that as the aircraft was "getting closer to the island, radio communication with the plane was lost," prompting a search effort to be launched by Chile's navy and air force.
