STORYLINE:
Air force planes took to the skies in search of a missing jetliner while navy ships scoured the sea on Wednesday as the search continued for a missing Boeing 737 with 102 people on board.
Relatives of the crew and passengers on the Adam Air flight had their hopes dashed Tuesday when it was wrongly announced that wreckage had been found along with a dozen survivors.
On Wednesday there was no sign of the grounded plane.
Instead, search operations were stepped up to cover 300 square miles (770 square kilometres) of mountainous, forested terrain and remote sea coast.
Concern is now mounting as forecasters predict heavy storms that are likely to affect rescue efforts already challenged by remote mountainous terrain, rough seas and damaged equipment.
Air Force official Eddy Suyanto, the search mission coordinator, told The Associated Press that there was no indication of where the "ill-fated plane crashed."
The Adam Air plane carrying 102 people was flying from Indonesia's main island of Java to North Sulawesi's provincial capital of Manado when it disappeared on Monday in severe weather after sending out distress signals, the first over forested mountains and the second along the
coast.
On Tuesday, relatives broke down in tears after discovering that statements suggesting the crash site had been found along with a dozen survivors had been false, based only on hearsay.
Authorities expanded their search on Wednesday to include the sea, with three navy ships setting sail just after sunrise in the Makkasar Strait and five Air Force planes flying overhead.
Relatives continued their agonising wait for news of their loved ones.
Many have travelled to the southern Sulawesi city of Makassar, believed to be the closest place to where the plane went down.
A special information centre has been set up to provide relatives of passengers with the latest updates.
Elsewhere, the Singapore government announced that it will be sending two aircrafts to help the Indonesian government to search for the missing planes.
Operations are expected to start on Thursday.
