Thank you for the additional link Rachel. I am sad to report this story...I have many friends there. The Thais have certainly had their share of problems over the last year.

Dee, I'm sorry to hear that. The article is confusing. It keeps mentioning the bad weather, but surely that wouldn't cause a helicopter to explode prior to hitting the ground.

Hopefully more information will be available today.
