Ahem, you may want to amend Africa to Nigeria .... what occurs in one country is not an accurate representation of an entire continent of 50 plus countries. Out of curiosity, what would increase your respect for Africa?

Thanks for the link though. The media reporting has been a little unreliable ..... a contributory factor maybe journalists rushing to file reports on what is certainly a big story (considering the high profile persoanlities on board the jet) before getting the slightest confirmation .... happens everywhere.

Cheers,

Walter

A very distrubing report indeed. Is that a credible source?

Cheers,

I would be very cautious in believing anything that comes out as being factual, however there may be a grain of truth to it, as there are other sources reporting similar stories.
