Godspeed. By the sounds of it, not likely any survivors.

Note to self, don't fly on an ATR, especially in that part of the world.

Not putting miles on your car is like not having sex with your girlfriend, so she'll be more desirable to her next boyfriend.

Reuters:"It is just the latest air accident in Indonesia which has a patchy aviation safety record and has suffered major incidents recently, including the crash of an AirAsia plane in December with the loss of 162 lives"

Pretty bad track record which may cause a lot of people to think twice about flying in that corner of the world.

That airline has such a bad safety record that the European Union has banned it from entering European areas.

They've found it by air, but it's still not known if there is survivors. Still smoking so it may just be a hole in the ground.
Interesting there was about a half mil in cash aboard.

People will still fly these airlines.....it's in their DNA to do things which don't make sense to you and I.

Was is most likely the operative word.
