OT Swissair in Africa--One of those airplane incidents you don't usually hear about....

greenspun.com : LUSENET : TimeBomb 2000 (Y2000) : One Thread

I'm still following the Kenway Airways crash and came across this tidbit while reading a related article in Africa News (warning: this is one slow-loading page)

"Ten more bodies arrived at the airport on Friday as a Swissair aeroplane failed to take off after developing technical problems. Reports said that two loud explosions rent the air as the Europe-bound plane was preparing to take off."

You're welcome, No Polly. I love doing research, and it's so nice to have people with whom to share a bit of it. Afraid I'm getting carried away today, though. I'll stop now.
