A horrendous air crash in Jogjakarta java indonesia was caused by human error, most experts and consular officials have said. The two pilots escaped from the cockpit without getting killed. The Indonesian officials will analyse and try to learn what happened in jogjakarta. A balinese cameraman got video pictures minutes after the crash happened. Survivors say that the plane came in too fast and overshot the runway and crashed into a rice padi and burst into flames. There were tears and anger from victims families at indonesia’s appalling safety record with airlines.

Garuda is trying to control the damage to its reputation by covering over the tail piece with its name with white paint. The truth is you would have to be crazy to fly internally in Indonesia. And you would probably be stupid to fly anywhere with Garuda. Indonesian air safety is only better than some african basket cases or russia.

So if you want an adventure travel experience of the most dangerous kind, fly internally with garuda or adamair in indonesia.
