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 |
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. |
SLF asking:
Why do you know it is from someone on board - and what does the tweet say? |

SSJ100 crash site reported found by SAR heli just prior to aborting due to bad weather. No info on survivors. Awaiting official word. |
all a bit scared, but the flight attendants take care of all professional, calm pic.twitter.com/dxi30I9P ... One of the comments on the latter photo suggests the interior shot is from a different type of aircraft. @aremookephy, I feel, is a fake. |
I know a few people on board through business dealings :-(
A close friend of mine is waiting on news on his colleagues at HLP , no news yet |
Sad
Not the best start for the only EMB 195 competitor!...
:( |

From Sergey Dolya | Facebook , quite famous Russian blogger, this time probably part of media team from Sukhoi side covering the demo flight.
Let us hope for the best... |
I would think S and R would have spotted fire by now as it is now dark.And what about an EPIRB or ELT anyone know if it was equipped?
|
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 ... |

Transportation Ministry air transport director general has not confirmed the Suhoi Superjet 100 to have crasjed because the body of the aircraft and it's passengers have not yet been found

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. |
i know this area well. I hope it did not crash onto the hundreds of little hamlets in the valley
