MADRID, Oct 12 (Reuters) - Spanish rescuers said on Friday
they believed they had found the remains of a small plane which
disappeared on Wednesday over the Mediterranean Sea with at
least nine people on board, an official said.
"We have found a side panel which coincides with that model
and with its numbering," a spokesman for Spain's air rescue
service in Palma de Majorca said.
So far, there had been no trace of the missing passengers or
crew and the chance of finding any survivors was low, he said.
The debris was located between Spain's eastern coast, off
the city of Castellon, and the Balearic Islands.
Seven or eight U.S. oil workers and two pilots were on the
plane, which went missing on October 10 as it flew from
Barcelona in Spain to Oran in Algeria, a major petroleum
producer.
Officials have said bad weather was the most likely cause of
what appears to have been an accident.
Air traffic controllers in Valencia said on Wednesday they
had received a request from the plane to change route to avoid a
storm shortly before it lost contact with the airport.
