Part found from Afghan plane crash 20 May 2010 08:52 GMT
... -- A satellite has spotted part of the plane that ... were on the plane, officials said. The plane crashed near the Salang Pass, north of Kabul.

Three days to find the crash site, doesn't bode well for the passengers. Wonder why they couldn't use a UAV to help in the search. :confused:
