Relatives, who have gathered at airports in Java and Sulawesi to wait for news, reacted with distress to the confusion. The families of those on board, who had been waiting for news at airports around the country, have now arrived in the city of Makassar, close to where the plane is believed to have come down.
"I don't understand how the authorities could be so heartless and spread rumours without thinking of the suffering of those waiting for news of their loved ones," Ima Kulata, awaiting word about her cousin and two nieces, told AP. Rescue officials are holding regular briefings at the airport, to keep these relatives informed of their findings, and the airline has set up information centres at local hotels.

Adam Air has been flying since 2003. It is one of at least a dozen budget airlines to begin operations since the industry was deregulated in 1999. The media was equally accusatory. "The people have been lied to," said the Pikiran Umum daily. The Jakarta Post said that family members were now even more distraught than they had been before.
The air disaster happened just days after a ferry thought to be carrying some 600 people sank off the coast of Java.
Survivors from that disaster are still drifting at sea on life rafts, because bad weather has hampered the rescue effort.
The Indonesian president on Tuesday called on the transport sector and the general public to work together to improve transport safety in the country.
