Nine die as Indonesian Air Force plane crashes into housing complex
An Indonesian air force plane slammed into homes and ignited a fireball in the crowded capital while trying to land on Thursday, killing at least nine people, a military official said. The turboprop plane crashed into eight houses, killing at least three people on the ground, said military spokesman Rear Admiral Iskandar Sitompul. Raging orange flames were seen jumping several feet into the air as a huge column of black smoke billowed.
