A plane carrying 188 people has crashed into the sea north of Indonesia's capital Jakarta shortly after take-off.


Pictures and video shared online by the head of Indonesia’s disaster relief agency show debris and oil floating on the water.

The fate of the passengers is unknown, but relatives were seen crying as they awaited news on their loved ones.

The Lion Air aircraft crashed about 13 minutes after taking off for Indonesia.


Data from the Flight Radar website showed the plane took off before it stopped transmitting north east of Jakarta.


Preliminary flight tracking data from Flightradar24 shows the aircraft climbed to around 5,000 feet (1,524 m) before losing, and then regaining, height, before finally falling towards the sea.



Wreckage from the plane and miscellaneous items belonging to its passengers

No survivors have been found, and seats from the plane were found empty, floating in the ocean, striking fear into the hearts of those with loved ones on board.


The relatives were seen comforting each other as they all waited as a group for news.

Occurred this morning.

Nigerians learn from indonesians. Is any of them using a national tragedy to blame their president?

May there souls rest in peace. Amen the leceister city loss and then this, may God help us all. Amen

Damn lion airline , one of the inspiring low budget carriers in Asia ..RIP..I hope Air peace checking and rechecking and improving their safety and flight checklists procedures to avert such in the future as the fleet and operations expand .


I gather the Aircraft involved is the latest boeing 737 MAX that was just released by Boeing and has been receiving great accolades...this is a big blow to marketing and safety received of the 737 MAX and Boeing industries as this shall raise a lot of scepticism if the The 737 MAX can leave up to the wonderful safety and work horse records of earlier 737 models.... I am huge fan of the 737 series and infact pound for pound I consider them the most reliable planes ever built

It's unfortunate. Praying for the family members to find grace at a time such as this.

Na wa o

This world is really Coming to and End

Everything keeps happening

Just like it was written in the book of revelation

Indonesia again? Looks lie that country has high rate of aviation incidents.

Meanwhile, most air crashes occur at take off or landing.

This is the season that blood sucking demons is in need of blood for balancing their sheet. Just imagine how many crashes in the last few days. Pray without season. May we not be victim of these evil happenings. Baba God sure pass.

Eyah... May God comfort their families
