From the Wikipedia article

An aircraft of the airline Blue Wings crashed on Saturday 15 May 2010 in Suriname, near the border with French Guiana, leaving its eight occupants missing, according to the authorities.

"I cannot confirm whether they are alive or dead, because I have not yet been able to reach the accident area," said the director of the Suriname Aviation Authorities, Mohammed Sherief Saboerali.

The Russian-built aircraft, which had taken off from Godo Olo Airport, fell in a wooded area 5 kilometres from Poeketi and near the border with French Guiana, on a flight heading to Zorg en Hoop Airport in Paramaribo.

Because of the bad weather, the authorities could not send any rescue mission until Sunday morning.
