IT looks like the aftermath of a plane crash, but the fire and smoke billowing from this wrecked jet is actually the result of a clumsy accident on the ground.
The British-made BAe 146 cargo plane caught fire while being unloaded at the airport in Wamena, Papua province, Indonesia.
An official said blaze started after a drum of oil fell from the aircraft and somehow ignited, injuring at least one airport worker.
Local police chief Lt. Col. Fernando Napitupulu said the fire quickly roared through the plane, sending black smoke billowing. It took two hours to extinguish.

An investigation into the incident is under way and at least seven people, including the pilot and co-pilot, will be questioned, Napitupulu said.
The plane belongs to Nusantara Air Charter and had regularly served cargo flights from the province's capital, Jayapura, to Wamena, capital of the mountainous district of Jayawijaya, Napitupulu said.
Air transportation is important in rugged Papua, the second-largest island in the vast Indonesian archipelago.
