A Norwegian Hercules C-130 military transport plane with five people on board lost contact on Thursday afternoon with the airport in northern Sweden where it was scheduled to land.

Emergency signals from the plane are said to have been detected coming from the area around Kebnekaise, Sweden's highest peak.

Two Norwegian rescue helicopters were forced to turn around due to adverse weather conditions, with strong winds in the area where the aircraft is believed to have disappeared. The plane was around 80 kilometres west of Kiruna when contact with the aircraft was lost. "It's a large and sparsely populated area which is now being searched by several helicopters," Fredrik Persson of the Swedish air rescue services told TT.

I hope there are survivors and that they find them soon, but it wont be easy with the bad weather and darkness. I wonder why it just disappeared like that? Probably had something to do with the bad weather. Maybe a CFIT? There's alot of mountains in that area.

It doesn't look so good for finding survivors, crash site found.http://www.thelocal.se/39724/20120317/
