Air Force urged to spare Borobudur

MAGELANG, Central Java: The agency managing the ancient
Borobudur temple near here is pleading with the Air Force not to
conduct flight exercises in the area, following a fatal accident
at a nearby restaurant.

Heru Widodo said the area is not only drawing tourists, but is
also densely populated. He fears that another accident is bound
to cause more fatalities.

A light trainer plane crashed into a restaurant near the
temple grounds in the incident. The pilot and a waitress died.
