Five journalists die in plane crash

Five journalists were killed in Indonesia when a plane crashed into Mount Salak, a volcano south of Jakarta, during a demonstration flight. The English-language daily Jakarta Post said 45 people died in the crash and identified the journalists as Femi Adi, a reporter with Bloomberg; Dody Aviantara and Didik Nur Yusuf of Angkasa magazine; and Ismiyati Sunarto and Aditya Sukardi of Trans TV. Indonesia's Institute of Aeronautics and Space said the plane, a Sukhoi Superjet 100, encountered bad weather on the flight last Wednesday (10 May). Search teams were still recovering the bodies of victims earlier today. Bad weather and steep terrain have hampered their efforts.
