Russian Sukhoi Superjet-100 carrying 46 people goes missing on demonstration flight in Indonesia

Not shaping up well for the pax and crew aboard the demo flight to still be "missing" after a few hours.

Agreed. The following quote paints an unfortunate picture: "A helicopter was sent earlier, but it returned because it was getting dark and raining," he told AFP. "We will continue searching by air again first thing tomorrow [Thursday]."

Sky News has a bit more info, including a report from a ground observer.

The wreckage has been found, no apparent survivors. Very sad but not unexpected.

RIP.

The aircraft appears to have hit a mountain and there does not appear to be any sign of survivors. RIP

Russians stole it
