A plane with more than 100 people on board has overshot a runway on the island of Bali and plunged into the sea.
Despite dramatic pictures showing the Lion Air jet with a broken fuselage, officials said everyone on board had survived.
The brand new Boeing 737-800 came to rest in shallow water and bright yellow life jackets could be seen littering the shore.
