A Boeing 737 passenger plane had crashed into the sea after disappearing shortly after takeoff when it plunged 10,000ft into the ocean.
The Sriwijaya Air passenger plane lost contact after taking off from the Indonesian capital Jakarta earlier today en route to Pontianak in West Kalimantan province.
The Indonesia rescue agency said suspected debris of the flight had been found.
It's been reported the plane fell 10,000ft in less than one minute, about four minutes after taking off.
