There was a plane crash in Indonesia yesterday, March 7th 2007. Thankfully, there were many survivors, which is rare in plane crashes.
Survivors said the plane shuddered before landing, hit the ground with a hard jolt and slid off the end of the runway into a rice field, filling with smoke and darkness before erupting in flames and explosions. By various accounts, the aircraft landed at high speed and might have had trouble with its landing gear
Hadi Kismono, an aeronautical lecturer at the Bandung Institute of Technology, said the most probable cause of the accident was a failure of the landing gear.
22 people died and 118 people survived.
May the souls of those who departed rest in peace. And may those who survived start to appreciate the mercy and compassion of God.
