Muthoni you forgot the parts that reinforces we live around forested, swampy, inaccessible areas....

The wreckage was in an inaccessible area of swamps and forest, he said.".... The U.S. National Transportation Safety Board said Saturday it was sending a team to assist the government of Cameroon in its investigation.....

The aircraft has been Boeing's top selling in the past couple of years with a price range of between $66 million and $75 million. The crash, which has possibly killed all the 114 people on board, is going to have multiple effects across the aviation industry since it involved a brand new aircraft. It also comes at a time when two titans, Boeing and Airbus are engaged in cut-throat competition and delivery deadlines and when Kenya Airways is on an expansion spree that is aimed at cashing in on the tourism boom. The aircraft- ordered from Boeing in May 2005 and delivered six months ago -was the first Boeing 737 that KQ bought directly from the manufacturer to boost its fleet of other 737s that it acquired from other airlines. <snip> This means we support local media houses become international to cover global news sensitive lives and beneficial to economy.

I am not an editor, but was just wondering if this is kind. May be a journalist out there can help with some English.
This is a very sad and unfortunate incident and lets hope for the best in future.

Apologies, members this is not an ICT related issue, but there is ICT in it.
One of the things that make me so proud to be Kenyan is our Kenya Airways, so it is indeed very sad that another one of our planes, KQ 507
has "disappeared in Cameroon. Condolences to those who had friends/relatives, people they knew on that
flight.
