An airplane carrying 45 people crashed into the side of an unactive volcano outside of Jakarta, Indonesia on May 9th. The jet was being shown off to possible buyers when it slammed into the side of the volcano during a test flight. The pilot, one of Russia's more experienced, placed an odd request to lower flight altitude to avoid the bad weather. The command gave them permission and shortly after the jet crashed killing all on board. The black box audio has been recovered and is going to be analyzed over the next few weeks. The commercial jet is the first made in Russia since the fall of the Soviet Union.
