Terrible tragedy. I pray there's some survivors and hope that the cause is not sinister.

We have a house not far from here and I've climbed these mountains many times. At this time of year the tops of these mountains are an impossibly formidable terrain.
It sounds like the loss of altitude was catastrophic.

Out of the 85 million flights a year what do you consider a lot?
Put me on a plane any day rather than in a car. Plane deaths are far more newsworthy than car deaths just because they are far far far far more rare so you hear about them on the news every time it happens. Last edited by billy123; 24-03-2015 at 12:00 PM. |

For some odd reason these things do seem to come in cycles. Plane crashes do appear to happen in bunches, then its quiet for a while, then another bunch and so it goes on. No idea why.

If there was a news alert every time a total of 150 in the world had died in car crashes it would be more than endless! It wouldnt be possible to keep up.
But if its a plane occasionally its a drama. Last edited by billy123; 24-03-2015 at 06:56 PM. |

well 1.2 million people a year die in car crashes so the 3 will be pretty much done by now. (that was figures from 5 years ago so it will be more now)
