Chile's defence minister said the CASA 212 military plane had tried to land twice. (SOUNDBITE) (Spanish) CHILEAN DEFENCE MINISTER ANDRES ALLAMAND, SAYING: "It tried the approach twice without positive result, after which, contact was lost.

The mayor of the islands told state tv that passengers' belongings had been found in the sea about a kilometer from the landing strip. No plane remains have been found. The Juan Fernandez islands lie about 420 miles off Chile's coast. The nation's president offered his condolences to relatives waiting for word of their loved ones.
