Yogyakarta’s painful transparency
0 comment
There is absolutely no doubt that the preliminary report into the extraordinary actions of the pilot in command – Captain Marwoto Komar (45) – of Garuda flight GA 200 that led to the crash of the Boeing 737-497 at Adi Sucipto Airport, Yogyakarta, on March 7 2007 killing 21 of the 140 souls aboard, including five Australians, makes for profoundly disturbing reading.
However, we must praise the Indonesian National Transport Safety Committee (NTSC) and its enlightened chairman Tatang Kurniadi for the fact that we read it at all.
