Blue Eagle,
Very possible.A while ago now i was drinking with a chap in africa called igor or ivan i cant remember(i'm serious) who flew the last aircraft (il76 )out of kigali. it was so full that when the ramp came up people rolled off it squashing the people on the main deck and vice versa. Still better than being chopped to little bits by a hutu with a serious chip, and an even more serious machete.
Having flown a ramp a/c round east and central africa nothing surprises me, it doesnt need a war to over fill an aircraft by a factor of two or three. dont worry the conspiricy theorists will be out in force anyway as they do for any death in africa.particularly ones connected to the establishment. any thing can kill you in africa except hiv, and natural causes, apparrantly.
just another victim of the free for all in african avaition.
jolly good fun as well.
interesting to note , not a single pprune cheesy "our thoughts are with them etc" .or is that only reserved for middleclass white pilots and their associated mishaps.How about a " ooo the poor things" at least
yours chippily
