A small plane crashed while taking off in Indonesia’s Papua Province on Wednesday, killing two people and injuring five, a church group that operated the aircraft reported.
An official at the local Seventh-Day Adventist Church, Sakul said that the plane was on a charity mission when it went down at an airstrip in the town of Sentani.
Sakul, who like many Indonesians goes by one name, said the fatalities were the U.S. pilot and a passenger.
Report says that jungle-clad Papua relies on air transport because accidents are very common. (dpa/NAN) Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
