Just coming in...plane crash in Indonesia...developing...
BREAKING NEWS — Police and witnesses say they heard an explosion as a commercial airliner was flying over western Indonesia and found debris from the plane scattered near a shopping mall.
Police Col Eka Yudha told TVOne the plane was a Qantas Airbus, which was flying from Singapore to Australia when it had to dump fuel.
He was quoted as telling the station it had made an emergency landing, but later told The Associated Press the jetliner was apparently still circling the sky.
The report could not be independently confirmed.
Large pieces of debris — including panels painted white and red — were found on the Indonesian island of Batam, where witnesses reported hearing the loud bang early Thursday.

Landed safely. Blew an engine.
Been following this already.... Quantas is saying they have not lost any airplanes. They have one with engine trouble circling Singapore dumping fuel, but no crashes.
Not sure what’s going on.
