If someone could give the registration when it is confirmed, that would help me.

Thank you.

If it was indeed a MD-82, the plane was rather old: all 6 active OG MD-82's are 21 to 24 years old. Yes, I know that age is no reference here. Or was it?

No it's not, since NW manages to fly 37 year old DC9's...

A surviving passenger says it was the second landing attempt in the strong winds and that the aircraft bounced hard.
They were all in the brace position.

The captain & first-officer survived the crash.

It seems the airplane has been smashed down to the runway because pilots had requested an aborted landing and got the clearance from the tower according to BBC...

Hello Sabena 320. According to the MD-80 International Forum, which I find totally reliable, the aircraft in question is:

HS-OMG

As stated in the abovementioned forum, this MD-82 had just over 6 months operating for One-Two-Go. An ex-TWA, ex-American Airlines plane.

Hope you find it useful.

P. S.- The Indonesian Captain was reportedly killed in the accident. No word yet on the First officer.

Now both pilots are believed to be dead.

Hello,

The plane registration is HS-OMG.
This aircraft was build in 1983.

Cheers

the first reports show a big similarity with the Thai crash at Surat Thani : Several trials, bad weather and a failed landing.
We will read the coming days several reports of the Surat Thani crash, not followed recommendations ( wind shearing ), cover up exercises and very low compensation by Thai in the past.
I am curious if Mr. Udom will dare to say that he doesn't pay compensation because One Two Go is a low cost carrier. ( O' Learry wouldn't hesitate)
read this stuff about wind shearing:

Impact on passenger aircraft
In the United States, a string of fatal accidents near thunderstorms downed passenger airliners during final descent and initial ascent, including Eastern Air Lines Flight 66 in New York (1975), Pan Am Flight 759 in New Orleans (1982), and Delta Air Lines Flight 191 at Dallas-Fort Worth (1985). The common cause in these air disasters was low level windshear.

Strong outflow from thunderstorms causes rapid changes in the three-dimensional wind velocity just above ground level. This outflow causes a headwind that increases airspeed, which normally causes a pilot to reduce engine power if they are unaware of the wind shear. As the aircraft passes into the region of the downdraft, the localized headwind diminishes, reducing the aircraft's airspeed, and increasing its sink rate. Then, when the aircraft passes through the other side of the downdraft, the headwind becomes a tailwind, reducing airspeed further, leaving the aircraft in a low-power, low-speed, descent. This can lead to an accident if the aircraft is too low to effect a recovery before ground contact.[9]

Effect of wind shear on aircraft trajectory. Note how merely correcting for the initial gust front can have dire consequences.As the result of the accidents in the 1970s and 1980s, in 1988 the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration mandated that all commercial aircraft have on-board windshear detection systems by 1993. Three airlines, United Airlines, Continental Airlines, and Northwest Airlines received extensions until the end of 1995 so to install predictive wind shear sensors rather than reactive systems in their aircraft. The results of these efforts was immediate. Between 1964 and 1985, wind shear directly caused or contributed to 26 major civil transport aircraft accidents in the U.S. that led to 620 deaths and 200 injuries. Of these accidents, 15 occurred during take-off, three during flight, and eight during landing. Since 1995, the number of major civil aircraft accidents caused by wind shear has dropped to approximately one every ten years due to the mandated on-board detection, as well as the addition of Doppler radar units on the ground.
