Bali Airport

An airliner has ended up in the sea off the Indonesian island of Bali after missing Denpasar airport runway, but all those on board survived. Hospitals treated 22 people after the crash, which involved an Indonesian Lion Air plane carrying 101 passengers and seven crew. Photos posted on Twitter showed the jet with its fuselage cracked, sitting in water near rocks, with dinghies nearby. The Boeing 737 was on a domestic flight from Bandung in West Java. 'Everybody screamed' Light rain was falling at the time of the crash, which occurred at around 15:00 (07:00 GMT). Most of those hurt had head wounds and broken bones with one report of a passenger suffering a life-threatening brain haemorrhage. "The plane plunged into the sea at high speed," passenger Ignatius Juan Sinduk, 45, told AFP from his hospital bed in Denpasar, where he was being treated for a chest injury.
