A Bali International Air Service Trislander on a scheduled Palangkaraya to Sampit flight could not land at Sampit in poor weather. The captain made a go-around and held for about three hours while waiting for the weather to improve. The aircraft then came down in hilly terrain a few kilometres from the airport, killing all 17 on board.
