Lion Air B737 Bali Crash
Good to see everyone is OK after this accident. Will be interesting to see the cause.
As a side note,are Australian journalists really this stupid? Read this article and find the obvious mistakes from the educated fools.

A PASSENGER plane carrying more than 100 people has crashed into the ocean off the coast of Bali.
The Lion Air craft is believed to have slid off the runway and into water outside Ngurah Rai Airport, near Denpasar late this afternoon.
A large crack was clearly visible on the plane as it sat swamped by water about 6pm (AEST).
It was not immediately known if any Australians were on board or if the broken fuselage was caused mid-air or on impact.
Early reports from Indonesia indicated passengers and crew had survived the crash and been relocated to a nearby hospital.
The plane was travelling from London to Denpasar when it experienced trouble.
Initial reports suggested the plane may have overshot the runway.
The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade said it was not aware of any Australians on board.

A Lionair Boeing 737-800, registration PK-LKS performing flight JT-904 from Bandung to Denpasar (Indonesia) with 101 passengers and 7 crew, was on approach to Denpasar's runway 09 at about 15:10L (07:10Z), but came to a stop in the sea short of the runway, the aircraft broke up in two parts. All occupants were evacuated from the aircraft and have been taken to hospitals with minor injuries (scratches).
The airline confirmed flight JT-904 went into the sea while landing at Denpasar Airport. The aircraft PK-LKS originated in Banjarmasin and was scheduled to fly to Bandung (JT-945), Denpasar (JT-904) and back to Bandung (JT-905). The aircraft carried 101 passengers and 7 crew.
Radar data confirm the aircraft was approaching runway 09 and suggest the aircraft was about 100 feet below a 3 degrees glidepath descending at 700 feet per minute at a speed between 126 and 135 knots over ground, descending through 200 feet MSL about 1nm short of the touch down zone and 0.6nm short of the sea wall.

Why couldn't the 500-hour, pay-for-training First Officer been more helpful? 
Glad to see nobody killed and look forward to seeing the accident report and likely cause. Hope this is a wake-up call but doubt it will be....

Good thing Lionair ordered hundreds of Airbus A320/21 aircraft - they say Airbus aircraft were designed to keep 3rd World pilots from killing themselves.... You don't see Air Asia losing many Airbus airframes...

Funny....I said Windshear and then I found this
One-Two-GO Airlines Flight 269 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An eerie reminder.
Thai crash investigators from the Thailand Department of Civil Aviation initially speculated that wind shear was the cause of the crash. Two years later, National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) reported that wind shear was not a factor in the crash.[1]
A two-year investigation by NTSB resulted in a report [1] mainly incorporated into the crash report published by the Aircraft Accident Investigation Committee of the Ministry of Transport.[2] Both reports found that the Captain and First Officer had worked hours vastly in excess of the legal flight limits; that the first officer attempted to transfer control to the captain during the go-around; that neither pilot initiated a go-around and that the training and safety programs at the airline were deficient
