An Indonesian air force transport plane crashed Tuesday into a residential neighborhood in the country’s third-largest city of Medan, killing dozens of people.
Television footage showed the wreckage of the downed C-130 Hercules, a crumpled burning car and a shattered building that local media said contained a spa.
Smoke billowed from the site and several thousand people milled nearby. North Sumatra police chief Eko Hadi Sutedjo told reporters that the plane was carrying 50 people based on its manifest. He said 37 bodies have been transported to Medan’s Adam Malik hospital and include a child who was probably about a year old.
