As I found out in my other fear of Indonesian flying thread, this occured just yesterday. Figured this more than deserves its own thread.

“We have received 141 bodies,” a police official named Agustinus Tarigan told Agence France-Presse at a local hospital.

The Indonesian air force, whose C-130 Hercules aircraft crashed in the highly populous city of Medan on Tuesday before exploding, revised the number of people on the plane to 122, 12 of whom were crew members. Authorities had earlier said there were only 113 people on board, and that they do not expect to find any survivors.

The plane hit a massage parlor and a hotel in one of the city’s residential areas, and recovery teams continue to clear debris in search of more bodies. Officials have thus far confirmed only three deaths on the ground.

Absolutely tragic, and not the first time this has happened in this country.

Exactly, airplane accidents appear so prevalent there, especially recently. This is not merely coincidence, and can't keep being ignored lest most people die.

Most of their military plane is apparently around 30-50 year old
