Well, I can guess...

screams incomprehensible		2007-05-05 07:09:21 AM

Let me guess, one of them has a relative that needs to get $68 million out of the country, and all you need to do is wire them $10,000 for expenses?

jso2897		2007-05-05 07:09:52 AM

Hey, that headline fails to make a joke out of a hundred some-odd probable deaths! I want my money back!

WayneBuckwheat		2007-05-05 07:11:26 AM

Unknown? nope. Dead? yep.

texdent		2007-05-05 07:12:14 AM

Were they flying over Macho Grande?

SwiftFox		2007-05-05 07:13:28 AM

It is unlikely that they froze to death, or are suffering from severe hiccups at the moment.

nih-		2007-05-05 07:13:39 AM

This is just a wild guess, but they're probably dead.

BalugaJoe		2007-05-05 07:14:21 AM

Pray for Omarion.

Trench off the coast of Bali? Lost souls? OH nOOooEss!

i blame the thread on worst plane experience

KiwDaWabbit		2007-05-05 07:17:14 AM

Probably starving with AIDS and no left arm.

/cameroon??

Bob The Nob		2007-05-05 07:22:13 AM

I hope this doesn't disrupt the African Education Conference.

/ I remember the pavillion, we had big fun there

Rreal		2007-05-05 07:25:47 AM

How much do you want ot bet that the deaths of 114 black folks gets less press than the average missing white girl?

LVLLN		2007-05-05 07:29:35 AM

Stanley Kubrick unavailable for comment? (well, that's because he's dead)

BalugaJoe		2007-05-05 07:33:33 AM

Did they have snakes on the plane?

Unknown_Poltroon		2007-05-05 07:38:52 AM

fark. I dont think i had any coworkers there.

ask yourself which is more important...

JPJ007		2007-05-05 07:39:15 AM

It's not exactly a mystery. Those people are mostly dead. Which means they are slightly alive. From this, we can further deduce that at least one of them will have fun storming a castle.

I've flown with Kenya Airways dozens of times, so I'm getting a kick out of these replies.

"fate of 114 people onboard unknown.

I'm guessing some sort of partially cooked meat paste?

kobalt05		2007-05-05 07:48:16 AM

Do thay have octoroons in Cameroon?

Primitive Screwhead		2007-05-05 07:49:51 AM

My God. Do you realize the profit margin of that? Let me get to the bank.

Larva Lump		2007-05-05 07:55:22 AM

Not only in Kenya, then?

kobalt05		2007-05-05 07:55:34 AM

I thought the joke was "where did they bury the survivors?".

theeternalbill		2007-05-05 07:56:26 AM

Mr Eko unavailable for comment.

/yes, I know he was Nigerian, but it still works.
//'sides, someone used the Nigerian scam email.

kobalt05		2007-05-05 07:56:40 AM

I thought the joke was "where did they bury the survivors?".

I guess that joke only works if they crashed on a border.

not as much as you'd think. the $68MM is in Cameroonese dirka dirka that comes in rolls and handy four and six packs, whereas the $10k has to be in U$.

gibbidygah		2007-05-05 07:59:29 AM

I'm with brazil, worst plane experience brought on bad karma to the Kenyans. Don't ask me how.

I'll never get over Macho Grande

NicoFinn		2007-05-05 08:07:04 AM

I hate flying, so this scares me. Macho Grande.

Primitive Screwhead		2007-05-05 08:12:19 AM

I picked the wrong week to stop sniff'n glue!

Did it happen to have any Virgin Mary statues on board?

Overfiend		2007-05-05 08:22:30 AM

There will be so many bereaved people as a result of this tragedy. I will pray for them!

Primitive Screwhead		2007-05-05 08:24:32 AM

I'm flying in 2 weeks.
If my planes happens to go down,
I hope my mangled crispy corpse provide somebody with a few laughs.
Life is to damn short. ;-)

johnpiercy		2007-05-05 08:26:33 AM

why couldnt it been a plane full of Nigerian Bank Manager Spammers

buzzvert		2007-05-05 08:28:06 AM

I knew that plastering the runway with those slick advertisements was a bad idea.

give me doughnuts		2007-05-05 08:33:55 AM

Did they come in out of the north; low, to avoid their radar?

cfreak		2007-05-05 08:40:57 AM

buckler		2007-05-05 08:46:25 AM

I'm sorry, but when I hear the phrase "Kenya airlines", all I can think of is some sort of cobbled-together airplane that the Professor on "Gilligan's Island" might make.

"No, Gilligan! You pull the vine, and step on the coconut!"

No, thanks.

IkilledJudas		2007-05-05 08:52:00 AM

Maybe they just crashed on a mysterious mystical island and we all just think they're dead.

buckler		2007-05-05 09:01:21 AM

No, life is to damn short. After all, what good is life if you can't use it to cast midgets into eternal hellfire?

viperdriver		2007-05-05 09:03:57 AM

Those Airbus aircraft are deathtraps!

What? Oh........

tomhath		2007-05-05 09:16:34 AM

Rreal How much do you want ot bet that the deaths of 114 black folks gets less press than the average missing white girl?

My guess is that in Kenya this gets more press. And local crime in Kenya probably gets more press in Kenya than a plane crash in North America. Same as everywhere else.
