Rescuers struggled to reach the slopes of Mayon Volcano after the wreckage of the missing Cessna 340 plane was found on Sunday, Feb. 19, with the fate of those on board still unconfirmed.
RESCUERS struggle to reach the wreckage of the missing Cessna plane in Camalig, Albay after it was located on Sunday afternoon, Feb. 19.
The wreckage of the aircraft was spotted 6,500 feet above sea level or 350 meters from the crater of Mayon during an aerial inspection conducted by a helicopter owned by Ayala Corp. Baldo said that the Office of the Civil Defense -Bicol will now be in-charge of coordination on the national level since local rescuers do not have the equipment to proceed to the area where the aircraft was seen.
A composite team of MFPI, who rescued Russian tourists trapped on the slope of Mayon when it erupted in 2013, volunteered to climb the volcano and help locate those on board – a pilot, mechanic, and two Austrlians. Añonuevo suggested that rescuers pass through the Mi-isi trail to reach the wreckage. He said that drop-off could be possible but Baldo said that it is impossible due to weather conditions.
