Lisbon - Rescuers recovered more bodies yesterday from a Portuguese passenger aircraft that crashed into a mountain in the mid-Atlantic Azores islands with 35 people aboard.
By mid-afternoon, 22 bodies had been pulled from the wreckage of the British-built twin-engined turbo-prop which went down early on Saturday on the island of Sao Jorge.
Wreckage from the crash, Portugal's worst for seven years, was spread over a wide distance and rescuers said that they had all but lost hope of finding survivors.
