The Chilean Air Force (FACh) reported on Wednesday that plane debris was found floating in the sea near the place where on Monday the track of the Hercules C-130 was lost, carrying 38 people on board and heading to Antarctica .

"While the search tasks of the wrecked aircraft were being carried out, sponge remains were found floating 30 kilometers south of the position of the last contact of the C-130," said the security body.

The remains were found by a Chilean-flagged fishing vessel and "could be part of the sponge remains of the internal fuel tanks of the C-130," the FACh added.
