Wreckage found, spotted from the air. Ground SAR teams reported less than 1 kilometer from scene according to Detik.com article. Aircraft appears to be relatively intact but need ground teams to assess the extent of damage and seek out survivors inside. This report was made public by Deputy SAR Ops, Hadi L. SAR will try to evacuate survivors and the deceased by air if and when possible.

According to the METAR archive on Flightaware.com, there were BKN018 clouds and haze at the moment, when plane disappeared. Demonstration flight in IMC looks very unreasonable, but I can't judge other people decisions... :|

This photo has been taken just one day before the crash - http://twitter.com/#!/lystseva/status/2 ... to/1/large
"Nine of them are dead" – states the photographer referring to the local TV news.

This one is very strange! I think this story will develop into a real thriller, once the facts start to emerge.
As Arnie would say ..... HANG ON TO YOUR HATS BOYS!
My condolences to those who died in this terrible accident. RIP

Picture of the cockpit overhead panel, supposedly taken on the 9th (day before the accident). Note the TAWS switches, both showing "fault" (probably due to being on ground), but Terrain also has the white annunciation "Off". Lots of discussion about this on Pprune.

Demo flight? Test pilot? My bet is on a bigwig in the back making a request of the pilot... "Sayyy... Isn't there a volcano around here? I bet that would be neat to fly past... How about it?" "Center, Sukhoi requests descent from 10000' to 6000'..."

Looks like they found 12 bodies and expect no survivors. RIP

The jungle here is really thick. If you were 10 feet away and from me lying in the underbrush, I'd never spot you. :shock:

Take a look at the shots on AvHerald then the short vid taken from the rescue chopper. It looks like he needed to make a right then a left turn to remain clear of terrain.

The CVR does not look in good shape. Hopefully they can extract some info out of it.
