In August, Trigana Air flight 257 from Sentani to Oksibil crashed about 30 minutes into the 45 minute domestic Indonesian flight. It was the third deadly crash in Indonesia within just eight months. As per Wikipedia:
Arnold Barnet, a statistician focusing on aviation safety at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, told the New York Times in December 2014 that the death rate in Indonesian airline crashes over the previous ten years was one in every million passenger-boardings, compared to one death for every 25 million passengers for airlines in the United States.
