Children watch efforts to clear a Merpati Nusantara Airlines’ Boeing 737-400 from runway 13 at Sultan Hasanuddin International Airport in Makassar, South Sulawesi, on Monday. The plane, registration PK-MDO, aborted take-off after it blew out its tires on the right side of the main landing gears, forcing authorities to close down the airport for about an hour. The MZ-762 Merpati flight was headed for Timika, Papua, carrying 165 passengers and seven crew. (JP/Andi Hajramurni)
