A passenger plane carrying more than 100 people has crashed into the ocean off the coast of Bali.

It is believed the plane slid off the runway at Ngurah Rai Airport, near Denpasar, where it was scheduled to land late this afternoon before landing in water.

Reports from Indonesia indicate the passengers have survived the crash and been relocated to a nearby hospital.

UPDATE: The Boeing jet carrying more than 100 passengers missed the runway as it came in to land in good weather conditions at Denpasar airport on the Indonesian resort island, transportation ministry official Herry Bhakti told AFP.

Mr Bhakti initially said the plane overshot the runway, but later clarified his comments to say that it landed straight in the water.

Oh my god, it must have been quite a traumatic experience for the passengers, especially those near the tail end of the aircraft as we can see a huge crack damage in that area.
