Bet me to it, I heard about 15 miles south of Madang. Either way it sounds really bad 20 plus POB. If it's where I think it's gone in I think the salvage will be near impossible due to the depth of the water. Let's just hope and pray that there are some survivors.
Both pilots, a PNG National and an expatriate, have survived, together with the hosty and only 1 passenger. Such tragedy and something that the industry, let alone Airlines PNG did not need.
Just as Kokoda is still fresh in our minds,we are now faced with this,another tragedy. So sad to hear this news. I hate to say it but how much longer are APNG going to be allowed to stay airborn now.?....enough is enough SW & BA.
Thoughts & prayers with APNG crews (many are friends) & relatives of the lost ones.
Bit early to sink the slipper in don't you think? The bodies aren't even cold and you want the airline pulled out of the air. How about waiting for some accurate facts to emerge, sh#t maybe even an investigation before sinking the boot into them? Thoughts and condolences for all those mourning loved ones.
