Yogjakarta, Indonesia ? Survivors of the fiery crash-landing of a Boeing 737-400 Wednesday said the plane appeared to be going too fast and shook violently before it touched down, lurched off the runway and exploded in flames, killing at least 21 people.

About 115 dazed and bloodied survivors staggered from the Indonesian jetliner after it broke through a fence and came to rest in a rice paddy. Most escaped without major injuries, although several suffered burns and broken bones.

Indonesian Air Force personnel try to extinguish the flame-engulfed Garuda Indonesia Airways jetliner, which caught fire upon landing Wednesday at Adisucipto airport in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The jetliner carrying 140 people burst into flames Wednesday as it landed on Java island, killing at least 21 people and injuring 96, the airline and witnesses said.

Those killed were trapped in the wreckage of the Garuda Airlines plane after it suddenly caught fire, sending billowing clouds of black smoke and flames high into the air.

The plane had been carrying 140 passengers and crew, officials said. Two people were missing.

It was the third plane crash in as many months in Indonesia, and raised questions about the safety of the country’s booming airline sector.

Alessandro Bertellotti, a journalist with Italian broadcaster RAI, said the plane was going at a “crazy speed” as it approached Yogyakarta airport after a 50-minute flight from the capital, Jakarta.

“It was going into a dive and I was certain we would crash on the ground,” he told the Italian news agency ANSA. “I was sitting behind the wing. I saw that the pilot was trying to stop it, but it was too fast. It literally bounced on the strip.”

A man who lived near the crash site said the plane reached the end of the runway and then “jumped in the air.”

“I heard a loud noise and saw flames,” said Subarno, who like many Indonesians, uses a single name. “I saw a man – I think he was the pilot – shouting ‘Get out! Get out!’ Some people were on fire. Not long after, there were three explosions.”

Wayan Sukarda, an Indonesian cameraman for Australia’s Seven Network, managed to scramble off the plane, then shot dramatic video of dazed passengers fleeing as smoke poured from the fuselage.

An explosion and fireball then ripped through the air, apparently as the fire reached a fuel tank, the footage showed.

Sukarda had called the network as the plane was crashing, a colleague told The West Australian newspaper. “He was screaming, ‘The plane’s crashing.’ I thought he must have seen another plane crash. I didn’t know it was the one he was on. You could hear all the alarms and sirens going off, people screaming,” said Channel Seven’s Danny Sim.

“I thanked God I survived. But then people started yelling ‘Fire! Fire!'” said Nuniek Sufithri, who is 10 weeks pregnant. “I tried to get out, but was trampled by the other passengers … someone pulled me up, carried me to the back door and threw me out.”

Sufithri, 30, was rushed to a hospital after a stranger found her in the rice paddy. She suffered no major injuries and did not miscarry.
