PS from me: Dolya mentioned that there was low clouds the whole day
Chappy Hakim (ex Chief of Indo Air Force) was on TV at 6.30pm saying no SAR possible this evening due to bad weather in Bogor

Update from Jakarta Globe
Update: Indonesian Airline Reps Aboard Missing Russian Plane | The Jakarta Globe
Apparently list of passengers published at Halim Airport
Looks like some Airline representatives from Indonesian Carriers and journalists.
Although looking unlikely hope that this does not turn out as bad as it looks

- Nicholas Martyshenko here too, carried pic.twitter.com/dxi30I9P
- all a bit scared, but the flight attendants take care of all professional, calm pic.twitter.com/dxi30I9P
- (Name), we are on board, we can not communicate with anyone, just my work twitter
- (Name), everything is fine with the Superjet-100, I was on board, they say just a communication problem
The last one is just an hour old (as of now) so well after the Superjet was reported missing. So seems to be good news, if true. One of the comments on the latter photo suggests the interior shot is from a different type of aircraft.

altimetry problem, setting? misunderstood meters and feet? CFIT does seem right
now, I've never flown in that country...in the USA IFR rules are 2000 FEET above mountinous terrain
if mountain was 7,200 feet...9,200 feet would be min (round up to 10,000 maybe).
does anyone remember the air new zealand crash in antartica? hmmmm

Without pre-empting anything experienced local pilots who know that area have come to grief in the past , there's some big mountains out there and the weather can change quickly and get violent.
Add to the fact the crew isn't local ...

google maps gunung salak - Google Maps
Although close to a major town (Bogor) you can see on this map that the 2 mountains (Salak and Pangrango) are very remote and rugged. I've been off roading in this area (the much smaller mountain gunung bunder to the north) and there's some very wild country out there.
There's a major air force helicopter base 30kms away , if they weren't flying this afternoon looking for the aircraft it says something about the weather around those mountains.
The map posted before showed the aircraft lost contact in the vicinity of Mt Pangrango , the bigger of the 2.
