   At least four hundred rescue workers are searching the jungle in the southwest   
   of the Indonesian island of Sulawesi for a plane that disappeared near the   
   city of Makassar. The plane had eight crew members and three passengers on   
   board.   
       
   According to local authorities, the Indonesia Air Transport European model   
   ATR72-500 may have crashed and exploded, ANP reports.   
       
   It was leased by the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries, according to local   
   media.   
       
   The head of the local search and rescue service said that teams have been   
   deployed in a mountainous area of ??the Maros district, which borders   
   Makassar, near the plane's last known location.   
       
   The air force, police, and volunteers are involved in the land and air search,   
   he added.   
       
   A helicopter and drones are being deployed to find the aircraft.   
       
   Indonesia, a vast archipelago in Southeast Asia, relies heavily on air   
   transport to connect its thousands of islands.   
       
   The country has a poor aviation safety record, with several fatal accidents in   
   recent years.
