From the news here (Bosnia being practically a neighbour), it appears there are no survivors, the plane ran into a mountain

Bad news, as always... ...!
...atrociuos weather conditions again..(fog/low cloud/poor visibility?)...!
It always amazes me that pilots are pressurised to fly in unsafe conditions...!
A lesson for all of us... ...!

Cheers all...!

Im not surprised if it was bad weather, but Im surprised the pilots didn't select a better altitude to cruise at,

but there could have been some sort of mechanical problem, catastrophic engine failure....
