Plane overshoots runway in Bali, ends up in sea - CNN.com
Sounds like no serious injuries thankfully.
(CNN) -- A Lion Air flight overshot a runway while landing at Bali International Airport on Saturday and ended up in water, officials said.
Only one person so far is confirmed as having suffered injuries, Lion Air spokesman Edward Sirait told a news conference in Jakarta.
He said 18 people had been taken to the hospital to be checked over, fewer than Indonesian officials initially indicated.
The others are still being examined by doctors, he said.
The plane, a Boeing 737-800, has only been in use by Lion Air since March , he said.
Indonesian Transportation Minister E.E. Mangindaan earliersaid about 100 people were on board the aircraft.
He said everyone survived, but about 50 passengers were hospitalized.
Mangindaan said he did not know the conditions of those taken to the hospital.

I had a conversation with a buddy a while back, that is very senior at a major. He told me the 737-800's take some getting used to with the landings. If I recall correctly he was making some adjustments like bringing them in a little hot on purpose. Apparently they cracked the airframe prior to cracking the code... Also, I notice they have a ton of new airframes on order. Judging from their history and recent developments that is apparently foresight to account for loss of airframes rather than due to expansion plans.
