No survivors after Indonesia plane crash - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

its found. RIP.

@Rickair777 & TwinWasp, Cheers guys. [The Russians and EASA certified it a year ago]

@ JamesNoBrakes. Don't forget its still the wet season down here. Any search would have to stop regularly for a couple of hours a day whilst the tropical clouds cycle. You don't feed your chickens in a thunder storm.

I once heard a turbo porter self destruct at full power during a ground run. I heard it from roughly 1km and mistook it for the crackle from a large rocket. Our witness heard 'firecrackers'."It was still way above the trees but veering left and right, and then it disappeared." not to speculate, does look like a CFIT incident though..

Update, CVR found.
FDR still missing.

Black box of Russian jet in Indonesia crash found - Washington Times

Seems like the publicity trip was flying under a black cloud from the beginning according to the article.
