Enitire Board of Sundance Mining Company in Plane Crash in The Congo

[St Elmos Fire]

'Eleven Dead in Airplane Crash in Congo, West Africa. The entire board of an Australian mining Company, (Sundance Resources) chartered the plane, which went missing at the weekend. There is reporting that it may be a possible hijack.

'The victims include billionaire coal baron Ken Talbot, two Britons, two French citizens and an American'. VIDEO

This is kinda reminding me of a plane load of Polish officials and their CEO that mysteriously fell from the sky not too long ago -

this kind of reminds me of how all manner of Celebrities in the US died in plane crashes in the 1950's and 1960's ...

maybe it's just 'one of those things.'

I guess those billions of dollars wont do the Baron any good now will it?

Considering the state of the local airlines in Africa. Its no surprise.

My thoughts, exactly.

Mine too.

Sadly, even this issue is being given local political spin. Apparently it's the Australian governments fault as they're introducing a new tax on mining companies and this "forced" the company to search for alternatives in Africa - according to MP Wilson Tuckey. Tuckey always was an idiot, but this one takes the cake.

Mysterious? Is there some part of "visibility is bad, cross-winds are bad, wind shear is bad" that is beyond your comprehension?

The pilots were told not land, they attempted to land anyway because the pompous ass Polish president ordered the pilots to do so, and they all died.

There's nothing mysterious about it.
