"Lost"

On Monday May 7, 2012, a Russian airliner disappeared only 12 minutes after takeoff. The flight was meant to be a demonstration flight of the new Sukhoi Superjet-100, which was carrying 44 passengers. The plane vanished once the plane hit an altitude of about 6,000 feet. This is leading the Indonesian authorities to believe that the plane was hijacked.
