Got it in a prev bread. Indonesian Finance Ministry reporting 20 of their officials on board.
Scheduled total flight time was only about 1 hour
This flight never achieved altitude greater than 5000'
Was only about 10 minutes into sched flight time when crashed
Same flight # three days ago was at 24000' at same time in its respective flight
Do not know weather conditions during this particular flight
Interested in learning cause of low flying altitude
Buddy of mine is speculating that the Lion air flight was overloaded

This thing couldn't get altitude despite struggling to do so.
Two possibilities: Too heavy, or highjack.

Lion Air Flight #JT610
From: Jakarta
To: Pangkal Pinang
Avg flight time 51 minutes
Starting to lean more toward improperly loaded cargo & luggage on 737s. If it was overloaded forward, that might have kept it from getting to altitude.

"The country of Guyana told the Associated Press, it barred the plane that crashed from using its airspace last year after discovering the crew overloading luggage on flights to Cuba.
"It's extremely dangerous especially if the pilots don't know how overloaded it is. Is it overloaded forward? It's one of those things where as a pilot you don't know what the plane is going to do," said Concheiro."
Here's another 737 story:

Update from BBC
"At least 20 employees from Indonesia's finance ministry were on board, the BBC has learned.
A spokesperson for Indonesia's Finance Ministry Nufransa Wira Sakti said they worked at the finance ministry offices in Pangkal Pinang but had been in Jakarta for the weekend. They routinely took this flight."

"Indonesia, a vast archipelago, is heavily reliant on air travel, but many of its airlines have a poor safety record.
Lion Air is Indonesia's largest low-cost carrier, operating flights domestically as well as a number of international routes in South East Asia, Australia and the Middle East.
Established in 1999, it has had issues of safety and poor management in the past and was banned from flying into European airspace until 2016.
In 2013, Lion Air flight 904 crashed into the sea on landing at Bali's Ngurah Rai International Airport. All 108 people on board survived. In 2004, flight 538 from Jakarta crashed and broke up on landing at Solo City, killing 25 people.
In 2011 and 2012 there was a spate of incidents where pilots were found in possession of methamphetamines, in one incident hours before a flight."
On average about 1 minute between each alt reading
Going full autist here, better data (these times are all GMT, not local time) No explanation as to why time intervals are as stated; these are transcribed from FlightRadar24 graph of the altitude data.

Google results on Lion Air's safety/performance record are not good
Separately, 737s seem to have a history of problems when forward cargo improperly loaded
BBC is reporting that the 20 Indo financial officials worked out of Pangkal Pinang and had spent the weekend in Jakarta.
https://www.bbc.com/news/world/asia-46014463
Of possible interest - earlier this month the Int'l Monetary Fund & World Bank held its annual meeting in Bali Indonesia. Attendance was over 30,000 people.
Unknown whether they were high-level finance people, or just office drones.
Man, I was just copying what's on FlightRadar24. Check it out and don't shoot the messenger.
Well thank God somebody else thought the Other Mike Rogers is a creeper.

Wife worked for a DC law firm?
Article in this link made me get up and make a vodka tonic
Papadopoulos seems to be pointing the finger at Rogers and maybe another person too as the spy within Trump's campaign.
Rogers looks dirty to me just because they drop-kicked him only a week after Trump was elected.
Holy fucking shit. Kristi Rogers was the CEO of Aegis LLC????
Kris Paronto, paging Kris Paronto.
Screw both of the Rogers, and don't give them a double room at Gitmo.
Asshole was allowed to "retire", then walked right into a job at CNN, and no doubt Kristi got a golden parachute out of Aegis.
This shit. This shit right here is why I have no mercy left in my soul.
