A soldier aboard a military helicopter that crashed in remote Indonesian jungle more than two weeks ago has miraculously been found alive, an army spokesman said Friday. Yohanes Syahputra was found late Thursday by villagers on Borneo island in an exhausted state, army spokesman Sabrar Fadhilah told AFP. "Thanks be to God almighty, we have found one of the passengers of the downed helicopter," Fadhilah said in a text message.
"The victim was found with wounds on his hands, waist and legs, and was weak as he hadn't eaten in days." Syahputra was aboard a Bell 412 helicopter with four other military personnel when it lost contact on November 24 over a remote stretch of Bornean jungle. The wrecked chopper was found three days later, having crashed during its delivery run to a remote army post near the Malaysian border.
