Ouch - that picture says it all. Everyone is very lucky if reports are true that everyone survived.

Another forum is reporting the aircraft is PKLKS. Not two months old!

Just saw this The plane was travelling from London to Denpasar when it experienced trouble.

The aircraft involved seems to be PK-LKS - delivered only less 2 months ago on 19/2/2013.

Does Lion Air still have plan to establish a subsidiary in Australia?

Reports suggest it landed short - it didn't over run.

Will be interesting to see why.

I was looking at the photos of the aircraft and seeing where the fuselage split stirred some faint memories of discussions about similar fractures in other incidents (the Turkish Airlines crash in Amsterdam being one of them I recall). Does anyone recall discussions regarding emergent trends for fuselage fractures which were being related practises at Boeing? I may be inventing the memoriy. Personally I think it's amazing that a plane can impact the ocean and remain so intact.
