Indonesia is vying for a place in the record books
Ooh...hiding behind a fake name and whacking a third world country! How pathetic...typical typical Caucasians! Give them a break mate!
Maybe we can give a break to the families of those who've been losing their lives with alarming regularity while these pilots continue to fly with wreckless abandon.
I've seen a definite bell curve in terms of overall safety in the local industry. Things hit a real low around the time Adam Air was finally shut down and then began to improve. The Garuda renaissance is the obvious marker of the upward curve, but to an extent it happened in isolation. The critical mass wasn't there and the regulator is widely acknowledged as weak. Over the last couple of years there has been tinkering but this has not lead to any real change and hence the uptick in accidents that is now occurring.
It's all terribly sad because even in Indonesia aviation is still relatively small. There would be few pilots that haven't met a pilot who has ended up dead over the last few years.

Coldastone, they have been giving Indonesia "a break" for a very long time.

Reports say it was carrying 30,000KG of rice- 30 Tonnes in a 737-300?????
Either they meant pounds, or the reason for the accident just became obvious....
