TotallyOz Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Having spent a great many times on planes from Bangkok to Phuket and from Pattaya to Phuket, I am saddened by those whose lives were touched by this tragedy. Oz At Least 88 Killed as Plane Crashes in Thailand BANGKOK, Sept. 16 — A low-fare airline carrying many foreign tourists crashed in heavy rain, broke into pieces and burst into flame on Thailand’s resort island of Phuket on Sunday, killing at least 88 of the 130 passengers and crew on board. http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2007/0...nd-thai_600.jpg For Full article go here: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/09/17/world/as...nyt&emc=rss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Lucky Posted September 18, 2007 Members Share Posted September 18, 2007 Like Mr. Oz, I have also flown in and out of Phuket airport several times. Even though I didn't know anybody on this flight, I looked at each name on the list of the dead. Many families, couples, and children. It is very sad wherever it happens, but Phuket has had its share of tragedy lately for such a beautiful place. Ironically, the guys I traveled to Phuket with are now themselves dead. But they got to see the beauty of the area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
