Está servira para distraerle.
Somewhat strange perhaps?
A cargo 747 full of flowers with ten crew on board, seven rescued and three still trapped in the wreckage.
Not very pleasant though, especially for the poor family on the ground.
Okay, without prejudice......
747 200 accident in the suburbs of Bogota.
Seven crew out alive so far.
Efforts continuing to rescue three still trapped in the wreckage.
Two killed, peasants (prob. literally, poor chaps). a 38 year old and a 12 year old who lived in the country, killed when the aircraft fell about their house.
According to police information, two of the wounded are being treated in Madrid Hospital while the rest are being taken by helicopter to the police hospital in Bogota.
That's all folks...

Always a good idea to await investigation results to pinpoint cause then it can be determined how this a/c was maintained compared say to the BRU a/c of the same operating company.

Precisely, while Kalitta are known for excellent maintenance procedures, it just seems that there have been a high number of crashes in general this year, many involving older aircraft. While a company's maintenance program may be 100% perfect, if the FAA guidelines simply are'nt stringent enough then it is a whole new problem which i am sure is not easy to resolve.
