Accident

The aircraft was on an Instrument Landing System approach to Medan Airport in a thunderstorm.^[2] The aircraft struck electrical power lines and crashed short of the runway. The aircraft broke up and the tail section separated and fire broke out.^[3]

Most of the survivors escaped through breaks in the fuselage and 11 were flung free of the aircraft.^[3] Four of the eight crew died and 19 passengers suffered fatal injuries due to smoke inhalation and burns.^[3] Four crew and 18 passengers suffered serious injuries.^[3] All of the fatalities were a result of the fire and not due to the impact with the ground.^[3]

Aircraft

The flight was carried out by a 1976-built Douglas DC-9-32 registered PK-GNQ. The aircraft was damaged beyond repair.^[4] This registration was later given to a Boeing 737-800, also operated by the same airline.
