Quote from The Sun:
A passenger plane has crashed after "falling 10,000ft" moments after taking off with 62 people feared dead, it has been reported.

Disturbing images have emerged of rescue workers holding mangled debris from the Boeing 737 which plunged into the Java Sea in Indonesia today.

Sriwijaya Air flight SJ182 fell 10,000ft in under 60 seconds - less than four minutes after taking off from Jakarta's Soekarno-Hatta International Airport, Flightradar24 reports.

One social media user responded to the site's data, saying: "That's freefall."

Locals on Thousand Island - north of Jakarta - said they heard two explosions before finding debris floating in the sea.

Indonesia’s transport ministry says a search and rescue investigation has been launched after contact was lost with the jet which was en route to Pontianak on the island of Borneo.
This the "standard" 737 rather than the max but the scenario is chillingly familiar. Just two years after another Boeing 737 - Lion Air Flight 610 - crashed into the Java Sea after taking off from Jakarta killing 189 people.

I wonder how many (computer) systems are shared between the two versions.
