Java 737 Media Blackout
 

Just wondering if the rest of the world has heard nothing about the G****A 737 that went into the drink in Java the other day. I know I'm in the NT, but appart from a short piece on the TV the night it happenned there has been absolutely nothing? <img src="confused.gif" border="0">

All I heard was one person died (a flight attendant I think) everyone else survived - not many on board - only 30 something I think they said.

Interview with a passenger said they were in severe turbulence and both engines failed???? Not the usual cause of engine failure!!!

I noticed that all of the airline logos & name were blacked out on the aircraft. They probably did that before they got anyone off!!! <img src="rolleyes.gif" border="0"> <img src="eek.gif" border="0"> <img src="frown.gif" border="0">

G'Day DeeJayPee, long time no see! Hope all is well with you.

If you're curious try the following media links:

BTW - The reason the NT News had nothing on it was because there were no crocs in the river it landed in, and no Darwin folk on board.

"NT man in Indo plane terror" or
"Crocs attack Indo Crash Survivors". <img src="rolleyes.gif" border="0">
