YANGON (Reuters) - Myanmar rescuers have recovered the bodies of more than half of the 122 people who were on board a military plane that crashed into the Andaman Sea last week, the army said on Monday.

The Chinese-made Y-8-200F transport plane disappeared last Wednesday with 122 soldiers, family members and crew on board on a weekly flight from several southern coastal towns to Myanmar's largest city, Yangon.
