Six airport cleaners were reported slightly injured when a Continental Airlines passenger jet crashed through the wall and glass windows of a terminal in a freak accident at Newark International Airport early today.

No crew or passengers were on board the parked MD-80 aircraft when it suddenly moved forward while mechanics were attempting routine overnight engine inspection, Continental Airlines spokeswoman Sarah Anthony said.

"One of the engines fired up and the aircraft surged forward, hitting the terminal," the spokeswoman said. "We don't know the extent of the damage at this point... the aircraft was lodged in the building."

The aircraft was parked at Terminal C when "for an undetermined reason the plane lurched forward and crashed through the wall at gate 114," said airport spokesman Steve Coleman of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.

National Transportation Safety Board officials were investigating the accident, Coleman said.
