The day it rained money as £6,000 thrown from plane to Indonesia's poorest: In a marketing stunt to promote his book, author Tung Desem Waringin flew a light plane over a football stadium in Serang and dropped the cash.
Money fell from the sky in Indonesia today... and into the waiting arms of the country's poorest residents. The mad dash for the cash -which was thrown from a plane in a marketing stunt -left many cut, battered and bruised.
The 100million rupiah, or nearly £6,000, up for grabs amounts to a fortune in the South-East Asian country. Those who managed to snatch a few notes took home more than they could earn in a month.
The money was dropped by author Tung Desem Waringin as a stunt to promote his book on business motivation. With the cash bundled in bills of 1,000 and 5,000 rupiah (between 5p and 25p), he set off in the light aircraft to fly over a football stadium in Serang, 40 miles from the capital Jakarta.
