Indonesian plane crash-lands in river

AFP [ WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 16, 2002 5:42:53 PM ]

AKARTA: A Garuda Indonesia airline Boeing 737 carrying 51 passengers crash-landed Wednesday into a river in Central Java, injuring several people, airport officials said.

The plane had been bound for the central Java city of Yogyakarta from the island of Lombok, near the resort island of Bali, when it crash-landed in the Bengawan Solo river some 30 kilometres northeast of its destination.

"No one was killed, the aircraft was not too damaged because it landed in the water, only the right wing was broken," said Hariyadi Subagyo, the head of the Yogyakarta airport administration.
