Indonesia plane crash kills nearly 100

An Indonesian military transport plane crashed into a residential area in East Java early Wednesday, killing 97 people, military officials said. The death toll might rise, because the Air Force said 112 people were thought to be aboard when the Hercules transport plane crashed about 6:30 a.m. The crash destroyed four homes and killed two people who lived in at least one of the homes, said Suwardi, the village leader of Karas in East Java.
