Tech and Magic in Indonesia

An Adam Air flight went down on Monday somewhere around Sulawesi. The Indonesian authorities apparently lost the plane on their radar. Singapore and the US are assisting in the search, but so far nothing has been found. But, just to cover all the bases, this is what the Jakarta Post had to report today about the search.

Searchers slaughtered a buffalo in a traditional ceremony and consulted psychics Friday, the fourth day after an Adam Air jetliner went missing over Sulawesi.

It's nice to know that somebody is on the ball.

In additional Indonesian disaster news, the search for the missing passengers of a ferry that went down off Java has now been expanded to cover the waters around Bali. It seemss that we are in for another year of tragedy.
