MAKASSAR, Indonesia (Reuters) - Twelve people survived when a plane with 102 on board crashed in heavy rain into the mountains of Indonesia's Sulawesi island, officials said after an overnight search for the wreckage of the budget airline jet. 

"The plane's location has been found and 12 people from the 102 people on board have survived," said airline spokesman Hartono, who goes by one name. "We are going to evacuate them to Makassar," he said, referring to South Sulawesi's provincial capital.
