On 5 October 1991, an Indonesian Air Force Lockheed C-130H-30 Hercules crashed shortly after takeoff from Jakarta-Halim Perdana Kusuma Airport due to an engine fire.

[2] The military flight was from Jakarta to Bandung,[3] and mainly consisted of Paskhas, (also called Orange Berets), returning to base after participating in an Indonesian Armed Forces Day ceremony.

The aircraft departed at 15:00 local time when, according to eyewitnesses on the ground, one of the engines caught on fire.

The fire presumably damaged the wing mechanism, causing the left engine to fail.

The aircraft lost control, crashed into the Training Center of the Ministry of Labor, and exploded.
