Indonesian military plane crashes, at least 68 dead
Air force spokesman Bambang Sulistyo said the C-130 Hercules was carrying at least 112 passengers and crew. It was on a routine training mission when it crashed near the base in East Java province, smashing into houses and then skidding into a rice field and bursting into flames. Indonesian television flashed footage of fire engulfing the wreckage and soldiers carrying bodies on stretchers. Witnesses said many of the victims were badly burned.
