PASURUAN - Evacuation of victims and the wreck of the Indonesian Air Force plane crashed in Pasuruan Regency, East Java, experiencing difficulties. The reason is, steep access to the crash site is difficult to reach.

"If Bromo passes too far. But if it passes from the Panditan, access cannot be passed. So we are still looking for access that allows it to be reached," said Lumbang Sub-district Head, Pasuruan Regency, Bambang Suhartono, Thursday, November 16.

Bambang said the two aircraft belonging to the Indonesian Air Force crashed in his area. He said there were two locations where the plane crashed. "First is on the border between Bulukandang Village and Panditan Village in Lumbang District, Pasuruan Regency," he said.

While the second location is in Keduwung Village, Puspo District, Pasuruan Regency.

"For the crash location of the plane in Lumbang District, to be precise on Gundi Mountain," he said.

Bambang said access to the crash site of the plane in Bulukandang, Lumbang District was the main obstacle in the evacuation process.

"In Bulukandang, the location is tough. So we are still confused about access. Whether to enter through Bromo or Panditan. Our difficulties are there. Later we will have further news," he concluded.
