A massive search operation is underway in Indonesia to find the wreckage of a Sriwijaya Air plane that crashed into the sea shortly after takeoff from the capital Jakarta on Saturday with 62 people on board.
Sriwijaya Air flight 182 a Boeing 737-500 was heading from Jakarta to the city of Pontianak, on the Indonesian island of Borneo, when it lost contact at 2:40 p.m. local time (2:40 a.m. ET), 11 nautical miles north of Jakarta’s Soekarno–Hatta International Airport. Four minutes into the flight, and amid heavy rains, the plane dropped 10,000 feet in less than a minute before disappearing from the radar, according to the global flight tracking service Flightradar24.
Water villas in Indonesia
Water villas are usually synonymous with the Maldives or Bora-Bora, but flying there for a well-deserved break is now a pipe dream due to the pandemic, besides the high price tag.
However, vacations in Indonesia’s floating water villas surrounded by underwater life, beaches, and scenic mountains can be had for a fraction of the cost of visas, airfare, and accommodation for a similar trip abroad.
