I just glanced at a news report re: Indo plane crash. From indications on the map, it must have gone down in a very moutainous region. Many planes crash there. It is treacherous because the place becomes cloudy quite soon and there is often granite (mountains) in those clouds that you can’t see until too late.

Since it is early Monday here, I’m assuming that the crash happened Sunday. There were 15 people on board. I don’t get to the airport or deal with any aviation here, so I have no sources other than established news reports. However, if I hear any more, I’ll let you know.

FWIW, I am in Sentani, Papua, on the slopes of Gunung Cyclops. I live on Pos 7.
