(ANSA) - JAKARTA, JANUARY 10 - Human remains and debris were found today off the Indonesian capital Jakarta, where a Boeing on an internal flight crashed into the sea with 62 people on board.

The plane of the local company SriwijayaAir connecting Jakarta to Pontianak, in the Indonesian part of the island of Borneo, had lost contact with the air traffic controllers yesterday at about 14:40 local time (8:40 Italian time), about 4 minutes after take off.

Details of the possible causes of the accident have not yet been provided by the authorities, who have initiated extensive search operations, despite the possibility of finding survivors unlikely.
