This doesn't look at all good:

BBC News article said:

A Russian Sukhoi Superjet 100 passenger plane with at least 44 people aboard has gone missing on a demonstration flight in Indonesia, reports say.

Russia Today is reporting that hijacking has not been ruled out(Link here). However, given the fact the aircraft was flying near a mountain when it lost height and disappeared off radar screens I think a crash is a more likely scenario.

Fingers crossed everyone is ok, however bleak that may seem.

From what I have read elsewhere, seems the crew requested the reduced altitude.

Wreckage has been found that they think belongs to the jet

Apparently hit rocky clouds, they're picking the bits up now. Also appears no survivors.
