TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Following news of a helicopter crash at the PT Indonesia Morowali Industrial Park (IMIP) mining area in Central Sulawesi today, IMIP Media Relations Dedy Kurniawan said the helicopter was not carrying company employees.
According to Dedy, the six passengers aboard the helicopters were not IMIP employees, but instead crew members of a production house from China that were visiting the location to make a documentary of mining activities in the IMIP area.
