C130 Crash Indonesia
A C-130 Hercules aircraft had 12 military personnel on board, an Indonesian military spokesman says
Jakarta, Indonesia (CNN)Smoke rose among scorched buildings in the Indonesian city of Medan on Tuesday after a military transport plane crashed near a residential neighborhood, killing at least 43 people.
The C-130 Hercules aircraft went down with 12 military personnel on board shortly after taking off from a base in Medan, the capital of North Sumatra province, said Indonesian military spokesman Maj. Gen. Fuad Basya.
Local television broadcast images of crowds gathering around the plane’s smoldering wreckage amid damaged buildings and a charred car.
At least 43 bodies have been recovered from the crash site, said Zulkifli, an official from the Indonesian Red Cross who goes by only one name. But he said there are more bodies at the crash site.
“There are definitely more than 50 victims,” he said.
It was unclear what caused the disaster.
