JAKARTA, Indonesia – Two pilots were killed Sunday, December 20, when an Indonesian military plane crashed in central Java, local media reported.
Video circulating on social media showed a fighter plane performing maneuveres in the skies above Yogyakarta before spiralling toward the ground at speed and disappearing from view.
Seconds later a thick, dark plume of smoke rose beyond the horizon, as people in the video can be heard screaming.
