Military plane crash kills 24
An Indonesian military plane carrying trainees crashed into an airport hangar today killing all 24 on board.
It was not clear what caused the Fokker 27 to go down in rainy weather outside the city of Bandung.
Witnesses said it appeared to be shaking before diving to the ground.
An air force spokesman said six crew, an instructor and 17 special forces trainees were on board.
Indonesia’s military has an ageing fleet of aircraft and accidents are not uncommon. The plane was said to be more than 30 years old.
A series of commercial airline crashes in recent years has killed more than 120 people in Indonesia.
