Default another Indonesian tragedy

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070307/..._jetliner_fire

very sad ...

"The government responded by saying it would ban local commercial airlines from operating planes more than 10 years old, though most experts say maintenance and the number of takeoffs and landings are the most important factors in preventing accidents."

I don't know how well that will go

It sounds like they ran off the end of the runway at high speed; better be a brake failure, but going on the safety record of aviation in that country I wonder. Wait and see. . .
