Indonesia jet crashes on take-off - BBC NEWS UK EDITION

An Indonesian passenger jet has crashed after take-off from the Sumatran city of Medan, killing most of the 117 on board and about 30 more on the ground.
The Boeing 737-200, run by low-cost airline Mandala, crashed onto a busy road in the Padang Bulan residential area near the city's airport.

Fire engulfed the wreckage and local TV showed images of dozens of homes and cars destroyed by the impact.

Airline and rescue officials said that up to 16 of those on board survived.

One survivor, passenger Freddy Ismail, spoke to Indonesian radio from his hospital bed.

"I could not believe it. After taking off, the plane really shook and then suddenly it plummeted to a main road on top of the cars below," he told El-Shinta.

Another passenger, Rohadi Sitepu, said all the survivors were seated in the back row of seats when an apparent explosion ripped through the front of the plane.

Mr Sitepu said he escaped the wreckage by fleeing as powerful explosions erupted behind him.

Emergency crews of paramedics, police and firefighters struggled to reach the wreckage because of raging fires.

One local reporter told Reuters news agency: "Around 10 houses were burned, along with five to six minibuses. The plane was torn into pieces, we could only see the tail."

'Tragedy'

Indonesia's Transport Minister Hatta Radjasa called the crash "a great tragedy".

Indonesia's President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono ordered an inquiry into the crash, which happened in overcast conditions.

The acting director of Mandala Airlines, Asril Tanjung, said investigations were focusing on "take-off failure", but could not say if human error, engine failure or weather problems were to blame.

The Governor of North Sumatra province, Rizal Nurdin, was on board the plane, which was heading to the country's capital, Jakarta.

Former North Sumatra Governor Raja Inal Siregar was also reported to be on board the flight.

Mandala is largely owned by Indonesia's military, and has been forced to cut costs in recent years to stave off losses.

The plane entered service in 1981, but was not due to be retired until 2016, and received a full service in June this year.

Indonesia's worst air disaster, in 1997, also happened in Sumatra, when an Airbus crashed into mountains near Medan, killing all 234 people on board.

Sumatra also bore the brunt of last year's Indian Ocean tsunami, which killed 160,000 people there and left 800,000 more homeless.
