If we have indeed lost this plane, which seems highly probable now, there are a lot of photos in that last link that will be the last those people have had taken...

Sketchy details but I just heard from an unofficial source they found the wreck at 3,000ft near a waterfall on Gunung Salak , we will probably get official details in the morning.
I have some other details but I will wait now for the official version but it doesn't sound good.

I'm more worried about the disabled TAWS...

Local Sukhoi agent says 42 pax and 8 crew
50 people on board missing Sukhoi airliner | The Jakarta Post
So basically they really don't know who is on board

“We have the passengers’ list, but we have to double check since some of the invitees failed to go on board and some others, who are on board, are not listed in the invitee list,”

If the system is similar to that on other aircraft (Airbus) then there is no need to switch the GPWS system off, unless for a specific non-routine reason. The fault lights are not that interesting to me on the ground, the off light all the more(thanks for pointing that out A Floor). Again, assuming that the system is similar to what I know.
Anyway, we will have to wait a few months or years for the investigation.
Very sobering pictures.

I am aware of that, the external power may have just been applied to the aircraft which meant the TAWS computer would still have been booting when the pic was taken, but that would not explain why the TERR function was switched off.... as far as I know, this is not normally done. The picture was also taken today, the 9th of May.

"The leading-edge technologies, being the core ingredient of the Sukhoi Superjet 100 Project, penetrate its every stage – from design and development to final assembly, delivering a modern, economically efficient and globally marketable aircraft. "

Being as there are/were great hopes to make a new BRIC based multinational aviation project, this incident couldn't come at a worse moment, irrespective of the fatalities, eventual causes, ?human? errors.
Next after the initial quake will come the tsunami of speculation and disinformation.

The real "culture" of Sukhoi comes alive, if nothing, absolutely nothing, is mentioned on their page...

I suppose I can only throw out the suggestion of disgruntled employee sabotage or opposition sabotage. Definitely not what I'd expect from this crew. Have met both members of the flight deck of this crash a few months back, both solid pilots, I wouldn't jump to questioning their ability. Have been on a Sukhoi SJET test flight - a sturdy craft indeed. I think we need to shy away from the usual 'Russian plane - it was bound to crash' and blaming ATC. I suggest some interesting things will come out of the investigation to follow.
