Sukhoi's Evacuation Lies 1,500 Meters Deep

Bogor (Antara Bali) - The Sukhoi Superjet-100 airliner crashed in a location 1,500 meters deep in Mt Salak.

"The  parts and debris of the ill-fated Russian-made superjet  are scattered in the crash site in a depth of 1,500 meters," Suryakancana Military Area Commander Col AM Putranto said as OSC chief in the evacuation of Sukhoi at the Command Post in Cipelang, here, Tuesday.

Putranton said to reach the location of the evacuation,  SAR personnel had to use increasingly longer ropes.

The difficult terrain made it difficult for the SAR team to continue doing its job.

Not only deep, the place where the ill-fated plane crashed is very steep with an inclination of 85 degrees and an altitude of 2086 mdpl.(IGT)
