JAKARTA - The remains of 16 victims of the Sukhoi plane crash were transferred to Kramat Jati police hospital here on Saturday. Meanwhile, most families of the victims, who previously had been waiting in the hospital awaiting word on identification of the dead, have left the location because doctors said the identification process would take time to complete.

Chairman of National Search and Rescue Team Daryatmo said the remains of the victims have already been transferred to Police Hospital in Kramat Jati Jakarta on Saturday. "Good weather today enables us to evacuate bodies of the victims to the hospital," he said.

The Russian-made Sukhoi Super Jet 100 plane was reported missing on Wednesday (May 9) in the Mount Salak area, Bogor district, West Java province. A search and rescue team on Friday announced that the plane had crashed and there was little chance of finding survivors. The plane was carrying 45 passengers, including 34 Indonesians, eight Russians, two Italians and one Frenchman.
