Cripes, what's up with gravity lately???? At least it was not an Airbus.

Won't know for certain until the black boxes are recovered and anaylzed, but I'm putting my money on mechanical failure.

I hope they find out what caused it to crash and can use that information to help make planes even more safe.

I´ve read there´s a very bad A/Cs maintainance in this area.

Damn this is not a good year at all for aviation!

Damn, it isn't a good year at all. This one is bound to be mechanical though because of the poor safety record and lack of spare parts around.

I read that the black boxes were destroyed.
