Subject Concerned: Aircrew Airlines Plane Crash
On April 6, an Indonesian court sentenced the pilot of a Garuda Indonesia jet that crash-landed at an airport in 2007, killing 21 people, to two years in prison for criminal negligence.
"The defendant, Marwoto Komar, is legally and convincingly guilty of criminal negligence resulting in the jet's crash and the deaths of other people," chief judge Sri Andini told the Sleman district court.
