Funerals for Indonesian jet crash victims

  • 12 years ago
The families of Indonesians who died when a Russian jet crashed into the side of a volcano in early May lay their loved ones to rest.

Here, mourners attend the funeral of a 32-year-old woman.

And in East Java Province, where the Sukhoi Superjet 100 went down, dozens of people bid farewell to a crewmember who died aboard the fateful flight.

He is survived by his wife and young son.

In Jakarta, relatives gather for the funeral of a 25-year-old flight attendant.

She was later buried near her home.

Foreign victims of the crash have been flown back to their respective countries.

The Russian narrow-body jet crashed on May 9 during a demonstration flight south of Jakarta, killing all 45 people on board.
