Sukhoi Superjet 100 crash -- final notes.

Jakarta's tv One News has a list of all the passengers on the ill-fated flight, here.

The site's slope is reportedly as steep as 85 degrees.

In a different Superjet 100, a Russian journalist last year posted about the quality of the interiors.  I'll let you decide what to make of it, but you can tell that in between planes, the interior was updated to remove deficiencies.

One thing to note about those deficiencies -- Lystseva Marina has a photo from her trip on one of the two planes in Jakarta, and well, you can see what I saw, but haven't talked about.

This other Russian is trying to track everything that is going on, including photos from the ground, of the search and rescue effort -- showing the difficulties of getting there.

And that's it.  The Russians (hint to Mitt: Russians aren't our enemies) and Indonesians are covering this quite well, so if you're interested, just follow the links.  And if you need help translating, I suggest using Google Translate -- not perfect, but good enough to figure out what's being said.  It automatically figures out what the source language is, just copy and paste.
