AP, AFP, Magetan
An Indonesian military transport plane carrying soldiers and their families crashed into homes and erupted in flames yesterday, killing at least 98 people, the air force spokesman said.
The burning wreckage of the Hercules was scattered in a rice paddy near Magetan, East Java, about 160 kilometres east ofYogyakarta.
"The death toll has risen to 98 people," air force spokesman Bambang Sulistio told AFP as soldiers and rescue workers continued to search the charred debris for human remains.
The plane was carrying more than 100 passengers and crew including soldiers and their families, among them children, officials said. It was flying from Jakarta to the eastern province of Papua via Magetan.
Sulistio said the dead included 14 children and two residents of Geplak village whose homes were destroyed in the crash. About a dozen people were injured in the crash.
'’The evacuation process is still underway and I predict that there are still some bodies trapped inside the wreckage," he said.
Witnesses said the plane smashed into houses before erupting in a ball of flame and rolling into a paddy field.
"The plane hit some houses, bounced, hit the ground and then caught fire," one witness told Metro TV.
Several people said they heard explosions or thunder as the plane plunged toward the ground, and one reportedly said he saw a wing falling off.
"I heard something like thunder, like swirling wind and then suddenly a plane hit the two houses and crashed," a local resident’ 'tdTd ’AH* adding that the fuselage split apart on impact.
The plane's massive tail section could be seen resting upside down and badly damaged in the green rice field, but the rest of the fuselage had burned down to its metal frame.
Burning debris was scattered over a large area and soldiers were helping pull bodies from the wreckage and the thick mud of the paddy.
The crash occurred at around 6:30 am (2330 GMT Tuesday) as the plane was preparing to land at nearby Iswahyudi military airbase. .
Officials said the cause of the accident was not yet
known.
"The engines were good, the weather was good. Was it human error? We can't confirm that yet, " military spokesman SagomTamboen said.
President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono summoned military chief Djoko Santoso and Defence Minister Juwono Sudarsono to a meeting at the presidential palace in Jakarta to discuss the accident.
Sudarsono complained that the military's budget was insufficient to ensure minimum maintenance of aircraft.
