NRK er nok mer forsiktig med å trekke konklusjoner enn Dagbladet, i alle fall ifølge denne meldingen fra Reuters klokka 8.36:
Rescuers scour Venezuelan Andes for missing plane
By Frank Jack Daniel
CARACAS, Feb 22 (Reuters) - Working on foot in cold
conditions, search teams scoured the rugged Venezuelan Andes on
Friday for a missing passenger plane thought to have crashed
with 46 passengers on board in the high mountain region.
The twin-engined plane vanished, apparently in good
weather, soon after taking off from the high-altitude city of
Merida just before dusk on Thursday. It was headed for the
capital Caracas roughly 300 miles (500 km) away.
Mountain villagers reported hearing a huge noise they
thought could be a crash soon after the disappearance of flight
518, operated by local airline Santa Barbara, local civil
defense official Gerardo Rojas said.
"We have information of a possible finding," said national
civil defense chief Antonio Rivero, although he added the plane
was still officially listed as missing. He said he had no
information about the people on board.
