"Approximately 80 percent of the victims aboard Sukhoi have been evacuated," Parwa said on Tuesday at Pasir Pogor Oval in Cijeruk sub-district, Bogor.
He stated the last task for the search and rescue team was to sweep the crash site. "Right now, all they need to do is to sweep the area," Parwa added.
