Anyone going to Indonesia? Flying local airlines?

I'd advise against it.

A plane crash landed the other day, and burst into flame. A few Aussies killed. (BTW, I thought the start of Lost when the engines of the crashed plane were free revving on the ground was wrong, but that's exactly what happened here.)

Anyway, does the following sound like the actions of a company that's open to a thorough investigation ?

Earlier, airport workers caused consternation yesterday by cutting off the tail of the wrecked Garuda passenger jet lying in a twisted, melted mess at the end of Yogyakarta runway, and painting out its company logo and registration number.

The dawn cover-up followed a similar attempt at concealing the identity of a crashed Adam Air Boeing 737 just two weeks ago, after what was described as a "hard landing" at Surabaya airport, in east Java, Indonesia.

All passengers escaped from that incident unharmed, but the jet broke in two.

Indonesian air safety officials - including Transport Minister Hatta Radjasa - are facing tough questions about whether the country is serious about improving its appalling record.

Do you know how it is possible? In the 'Lost' premiere an engine kept running for what appeared to be a few minutes after having been ripped clean off the wing.

I called B$ on lost as well.

This one wasn't ripped off, the wings were attached to the fuselage, and were still shrieking for quite some time after the plane exploded.

I see. What a nightmare.
