JAKARTA, Indonesia — An Indonesian air force plane has crashed into a house on the country’s main island of Java, killing both people on board and critically injuring a woman in the home. JAKARTA, Indonesia — An Indonesian air force plane crashed into a house on the country’s main island of Java on Wednesday, killing the pilot and two people in the house, a senior official said. A second person on the plane was missing.
Maj. Hamdi Londong, spokesman for the Abdul Rahman Saleh air force base, says the plane was on a routine training flight Wednesday when it came down close to the base, located in Malang, a hilly town in East Java province. The plane was on a routine maintenance flight when it crashed near Abdul Rahman Saleh air force base in Malang, a hilly town in East Java province, said air force chief Air Marshal Agus Supriatna.
Londong says the two pilots in the Brazilian-made Embraer EMB 314 Super Tucano light attack plane died instantly and a woman living in the house was rushed to a hospital in critical condition. Supriatna said the pilot and a technician on the Brazilian-made Embraer EMB 314 Super Tucano plane ejected before it crashed. The pilot was found dead near a rice field about 8 kilometers (5 miles) from his parachute, while the technician was still missing, he said.
He says the cause of the crash is being investigated. Air force officials had previous said that both people on the plane died instantly. They said a man and a woman living in the house died while being treated at a hospital.
Malang is 850 kilometers (528 miles) east of the capital, Jakarta. A neighbor who witnessed the crash, Slamet, told MetroTV that the plane appeared to be nose-diving out of control with smoke billowing from its tail when it crashed. Like many Indonesians, Slamet goes by a single name.
The light attack aircraft is one of 16 bought by the air force in 2013.
Malang is 850 kilometers (530 miles) east of Jakarta, Indonesia’s capital.
