JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — Rescuers finished searching damaged and burned homes today without finding more victims of a military plane crash in Indonesia’s capital that killed seven airmen and four people in a house.

The Fokker F-27 turboprop was making a routine training flight when it crashed into the military housing complex in Jakarta on Thursday nearly a mile from the runway where it was trying to land. The dead were two children, their grandmother and aunt in one of the eight damaged houses, and the plane’s pilot, co-pilot and five trainees.

“Search and rescue efforts have been finished,” said air force spokesman Col. Agung Sasongko Jati today. “All the wreckage has been removed and there is no more new victim.”
