Rescuers yet to access cockpit after plane crash

Kamnik, 11 March - Rescuers have been unable to access the cockpit and the pilot of the small plane that crashed in the area of Velika Planina on Monday. They assume the cockpit is located in the basement of the mountain lodge that the plane hit but the lodge is damaged so badly it may collapse any time.
