Why did it have to take a whole 48 hrs before the crash site was found? I think this should be the question.

Have always thought the guys, when in air, are continously in touch with the tower. so you mean it could take 48hrs to locate the crash area?

its better to get smashed into pieces on our roads, atleast they will be able to get my dead body in time! though with minuses on other personal items, like; my watch, 4ne, wallet, condoms etc. but who gives a damn over such immaterial things when you are as cold as a stone?

My condolence.

This plane by Boeing is at least the seventh to crash this year (if the BBC report is to go by) but a plane is an electronic gizmo that can be traced within the least time possible, now this one in Cameroon was like looking for a needle in a haystack and i believe it was the local fishermen who took those who found the plane to likely place. Now the question is is 20 km to far to look for a plane with a hundred plus bodies that it takes a long time i bet there are no survivors. RIP

RE:CRASHED KENYA AIRWAYS

For God's sake there is no good news here. In the first place how sure are you that three unidentified bodies are not Nyasa's. Maybe they'll be survivors who knows?
