Investigators comb plane wreckage after fatal blaze

Investigators picked through the charred debris of a Boeing 737-400 that burst into flames after careering off a runway in Indonesia, as forensic experts struggled to identify the 21 people killed, many burned beyond recognition.

About 117 dazed and bloodied survivors staggered from the jet after it broke through a fence and came to rest in a rice field early yesterday. Most escaped without major injuries, although several suffered burns and broken bones.
