Vocabulary – Word for Entering a Room Suddenly and Fast

single-word-requestsverbsvocabulary

I'm looking for a word that means 'enter a room fast and suddenly'. Using a dictionary I got the word 'to plunge' – however I'm not sure if that's correct.

When looking up 'to plunge' (http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/plunge) it seems not to be completely correct, especially when looking at the example sentences.

So, is 'to plunge' also used with the meaning of 'entering a room fast and suddenly'? If not, what is such a word?
