Search in Southeast Asia for an airplane with 162 people on board has resumed, CNN reported.

An Indonesian rescue official said radar data shows the plane likely is at the bottom of the sea, according to CNN.

“(Because) the coordinate that was given to us and the evolution from the calculation point of the flight track is at sea, our early conjecture is that the plane is in the bottom of the sea,” Marsdya Tni Hendry Bambang, head of Indonesia’s national search and rescue agency, said according to CNN.

At least seven ships and two helicopters are expected to search for the plane according to Indonesia’s National Rescue Agency, CNN reported. Malaysia will send three vessels and Singapore will send one, according to the report.
