SANTIAGO Chile on Monday turned to the powers of a psychic to find the bodies of 17 people still missing after a military plane crash near the remote Robinson Crusoe island in the Pacific Ocean.
"We're are working with a person who is on one of the (search) boats," Defense Minister Andres Allamand told national Chilean TV in response to a question of whether a medium was taking part in recovery efforts.
"Not only are we using all of our technological capabilities, but also all the human and superhuman abilities that may exist," he said.
Allamand, who has been on the island since Saturday, said earlier, however, sought to lower expectations that all the victims bodies will be recovered.
"We must prepare for the possibility that we will not find some of the bodies," said Allamand.
The Chilean government has organized a huge search in waters off the island where the plane went down late Friday carrying 21 people .
On Sunday, officials declared two days of national mourning, while only four bodies and a small amount of aircraft debris have been found so far.
The search continued on Sunday even though the government said there was no hope that anyone survived the crash.
