The Sukhoi

The Sukhoi SU95 operated by Sukhoi was performing a demonstration flight for airline representatives and journalists in order to promote sales of the aircraft. The plane took off from Jakarta Airport and was expected to come back to Jakarta Airport after a short flight. 37 passengers, 6 crew and 2 Sukhoi officials were onboard. The plane vanished from radar screens and lost contact with ground controllers after about 30 minutes of flight. All the 45 people onboard were killed. The plane crashed into a mountain salak, Bogor, Indonesia after losing contact with the airport.

There is some analysis regarding the cause of the crash. Some mentioned it was related to mystical aura around Mount Salak that can draw any plane flying over it. Gunung Salak had a strong mystical energy. Mount Salak still considered sacred by the indigenous people here, and in this region is also known as the human mating ritual with a genie. Mountain is actually a place of tourism, sometimes nature lovers, mountain climbing when experiencing the mystery event that is heard Javanese gamelan music in the forest, and also saw the apparition of spirits or lost in the woods until it is gone and never came home. For it is highly recommended for nature lovers do not say bad words or abusive during the trip, to avoid interference mount Salak spirits.

Based on the Geographic and Characteristics, Mount Salak is a volcano that has a height of 2211 meters above sea level. According to altitude, Mount Salak not the highest mountain in Indonesia. Located in the district of Sukabumi and Bogor, West Java Province. There are three craters on the mountain and has a character that no other mountain. The weather is unpredictable and rapidly changing. In a few minutes can happen fog, clouds and rain. Weather factors that potentially this is often the case in an airplane crash over the past Mount Salak. Previously had six times the aircraft crashed in the area of Mount Salak.

But according to an article I read, perhaps the analysis based on scientific standpoint was the one that could well be accepted. The experts predicted that Sukhoi Superjet 100 crashed into a cliff of Mount Salak because the pilot tried to avoid cumub nimbus cloud that towered as high as 37,000 feet. Logically, the pilot would not rise to the height of more than 37,000 feet as it was too high to reach. The safer and easier way was to fly either to the right, left, or down. The decision to ask for a permission to go down was probably based on the above possibility but was too late to take mountainous areas into account. Mount Salak itself that Sukhoi Superjet 100 crashed on towers to the height of over 6,000 feet.
