The linked article says "The aircraft was carrying 14 tonnes of fuel, rice and sugar...", which, I assume is correct. However, ABC news (US) reported "15,000 tons of fuel", and tenplay.com.au says "The cargo plane was reportedly carrying 14,913 tonnes of fuel supplies". I saw others followed suit with the 15,000 ton(ne)s as well. I'm guessing that this has to do with the use of the comma to separate thousands in some countries and the decimal point in others with some news outlets simply reproducing the number with the comma, but seriously. Is there nobody in the reporting food chain in these organizations who see a report saying that a 737 is carrying 15,000 tons of something and wonder what the hell they got wrong?
I like the parking of the 737 at the start of the video too!

Come on guys. This country has just been upgraded on the FAA list so it must be safe now! I mean the fact that every single person in a position of power or oversight is corrupt in one way or another has nothing to do with it.....
ps this is the one country that I always recommend people not to fly on any local airline if possible...

Looks to me by the video that they were trying to do a go around.They pranged in so hard that the gear departed and they were knocked dingy and didn't pull the throttles back.
But the repeated exhortation to "not fly on local airlines" is pretty much the same as saying "don't go to Indonesia", or to many parts of Africa, South America, et al.
You can get TO Indonesia on reputable international airlines (or supposedly-reputable), but as soon as you are in Indonesian airspace you may as well be on any of the local airlines. And if you want to travel domestic then you may need some time to find an international carrier that still meets your exacting standards, or at all.
But if you do actually want to travel around the archipelago then you had better resolve yourself to an elevated level of risk, whether travel-related, food-related or whatever.
I still see people bungy jumping in Bali or eating bakso off the hepatitis-handcart who would never-the-less denigrate domestic air travel as just too risky or unsafe. Sorry loyo. Don't like the risk from domestic air travel? Better stay home.
Yes, getting around Indonesia using any means of transport has well founded risks for equally well-documented reasons.
