DAWEI, Myanmar — Fishermen joined navy and air force personnel Thursday in recovering bodies and aircraft parts from the sea off Myanmar, where a military plane carrying 122 people including 15 children crashed a day earlier, officials said. The bodies were taken on larger boats and navy ships, and were supposed to be transferred to smaller vessels that could be offloaded at the beach in Laung Lone. Military spokesman Gen. Myat Min Oo earlier said a navy ship had found two life jackets, bodies and an aircraft wheel in the sea west of Laung Lone. RelatedLocal fishermen joined nine navy ships, five military aircraft and three helicopters in the search, the spokesman said. That plane is believed to have flown far off course and crashed into a remote area of the southern Indian Ocean.
