Explosions Hit Hotels in Indonesia

Bombs exploded in two luxury hotels in the Indonesian capital Jakarta, JW Marriot and Ritz Carlton. One of the victims indentified as 62-year-old Timothy David Mackay, the president director of the Swiss-base Holcim cement company in Jakarta. The chief executive of Holcim New Zealand Glenda Harvey said if the reports of Mackay’s death were correct, his colleagues in New Zealand and overseas would be “deeply saddened”.
New Zealander Matthew Webster emailed the New Zealand Herald to say he was in his 10th-floor room at the JW Marriott hotel when the explosion took place.
When he went downstairs, he said he saw extensive damage in the hotel lobby.
"Glass was everywhere and there was blue smoke coming from the left-hand side of the lobby and also externally from the hotel debris and glass was still falling from the ceiling and walls around 10 minutes after the explosion," he said.
