FlightAware shows the aircraft at was cruising at 13,000' and the wreckage was found on the side of a 13,723 peak. With that kind of terrain in the area shouldn't they have been flying at a higher altitude? Looks like a clear case of CFIT to me.

I noticed this happening as well about two days ago.

Hopefully the webmaster sees this post and fixes the problem soon.
