SANTIAGO, Chile - Chilean officials said Saturday search crews have begun recovering bodies from the crash of a military airplane that went down in the Pacific Ocean with 21 people aboard.
The bodies of two women and two men were recovered by searchers or fishermen, officials said, though they did not identify them. Six women were on the flight.
Vice-Admiral Cristian de la Maza said searchers also found many pieces of the CASA 212 that crashed Friday afternoon after two failed attempts to land in difficult weather on the Juan Fernandez islands, some 670 kilometres from the Chilean mainland.
Officials say they believe all aboard died.
Among those aboard was popular Chilean television personality Felipe Camiroaga.
