Runway crash: Shocking footage shows passenger jet in flames after wing torn off in smash

THESE dramatic images show the aftermath of a major runway accident at an airport after two planes collided during takeoff.

The pictures have emerged after Batik Air Boeing 737 appears to have crashed into a Trans Nusa ATR 72 as it tried to take off from Halim Perdanakusuma airport in Jakarta.

The Batik Air flight ID7703 was at the end of the runway when its wing reportedly snapped off as a result on the smash today (Monday).

The Boeing 737 was en route to Ujung Pandang in East Sulawesi.

Passenger Tunas Kelapa tweeted: "Dodged another bullet there at Halim. Could be worse much worse."
