Death toll from Air China crash rises to 120
The death toll from the crash of an Air China jet carrying 166 people and crew has risen to 120 with eight people still missing.
South Korean Government officials say a Korean woman died overnight in hospital and four bodies were retrieved from the crash site near the city of Pusan.
Eight people are still unaccounted for and 38 survivors, including the pilot, are in hospital.
Meanwhile, hundreds of rescuers have resumed a grim search in heavy rain and thick fog at the crash site in mountainous forest.
Some 25-hundred military and civilian rescuers, with dogs, have been mobilized to take part in the search.
