Mil Mi-17V-5 crash near Danau Sembuluh, Seruyan Regency, Central Kalimantan, Indonesia

The helicopter took off from Kuala Pembuang at 09:55 local time to work forest and land fires in Tanjung Puting National Park. It was drawing water from the river for a water bombing run when the crew reported a flight problem and it came down in the water off Sungai Perlu village, in Danau Sembuluh district of Seruyan regency, at about 11:18. Eight crew were aboard. Two were killed, and their bodies were flown home to Semarang on 5 November. Five were rescued with injuries. One crew member, Serda Heri, was still missing on 5 November, the search having been suspended because of tides and strong currents, so the toll may rise again. The Army operates the aircraft through its aviation centre, Puspenerbad, and says it is investigating. The aggregator record gives the location as the Telaga Pulang village area and the time as 11:00. Coordinates are approximate to Danau Sembuluh.
