Flew into mountain in a remote area. It took a long time to locate the wreckage. Rumor had it that some occupants survived and were taken captive by uncivilized native tribes; however, the statement by a victim's family member who personally visited the accident site indicated that the crash was quite violent and it was unlikely that there was any survivor.
