A new Russian-made civilian plane carrying 50 people went missing in Indonesia while flying over mountains Wednesday during a demonstration flight for potential buyers and journalists, officials said.
It is very sad to hear about aviation deaths. Given the nature of aircraft there are usually very few if any survivors. RIP to all those on-board and sincere condolences to their families.
While unfortunate and sad for those and their families involved. This pales in comparison to the hudreds that die every year in ferry diasters in this region.
