Army plane crashes in West Java
Quote:
More than 20 people are feared dead in Indonesia after a military training plane crashed and caught fire at an airport in West Java.
At least 24 people are thought to have been onboard the Fokker 27, which went down near the city of Bandung.
The exact cause of the accident is not yet known, but the weather was stormy at the time of the crash, an air force spokesman told reporters.
Indonesia has one of the worst aviation safety records in the world.
The European Union has banned Indonesian airlines from its airspace since 2007 because of safety concerns.
