I’m very sorry to read this. Do we know what the last altitude was? Hoping for a miracle that there are survivors.

“The plane involved was a Boeing Co. 737 Max 8, marking the first ever accident for the model. While the jet has a capacity to seat as many as 210 people, it wasn’t immediately clear how many passengers and crew were on board. The National Search and Rescue Agency is scheduled to hold a press briefing at 10 a.m. local time.“

There is photos of some of the wreckage on social media and it is pretty bad.

Thank you very much for the altitude and updates.

It is going to be very interesting to see what caused this crash. Thank you for the updates everyone.

 

[MsFacetious]

WOW. A 737?!
I mean it's another low cost airline but it's a new plane and a 737.
This is definitely going to be interesting assuming they can determine the cause. At least they found it so it won't be an enduring mystery forever.

 

[Alethea]

What a nightmare. Thank you for the updates.

 

[Snoods]

No reports of bodies or (sorry) body parts yet? Sounds like the plane didn't break apart, so bodies are going to be found still buckled into their seats in the fuselage, as they had just taken off only minutes before.

The debris they are finding seems to be mostly passenger belongings, life vests, an oil slick from where they plane went down.

Agree @gregjrichards, it will be interesting to see what caused this plane to drop from the sky only minutes after take-off.

Debris from plane, does this look like part of the wing?

Someone's sweatpants, looks like someone's travel bag on the left, maybe a cell phone.

The Indonesia-based airline is known for its poor safety record.

Indonesia’s Finance Minister Sri Mulyanialso arrived at the agency and met with its chief, seeking information about 20 finance ministry staff who were on the flight.

According to this report (from video at link) the plane went from 5,400 feet down to 3,650 feet within a minute.

Lion Air flight JT610 requested to return to base, with air traffic control losing contact with the pilots after approving the request, Yohanes Sirait, a spokesman for the country’s air navigation authorities, told Reuters.

189 people, Jesus. I can't imagine the terror they suffered. This reminds me of the Air France flight that went down in the ocean, all the passengers were found still strapped into their seats.
