JAKARTA: Passengers feared for their lives as their plane set fire and filled the cabin with the stench of gasoline following a collision with another aircraft on an Indonesian runway, an eyewitness said Tuesday.
A Batik Air plane with 49 passengers and seven crew on board was taking off from the Jakarta airport when it clipped a TransNusa aircraft being towed across the runway late Monday.
