Thailand lets more humans die in a plane crash. Not sure how many there were, and which countries are feeling the pain, but this morning as I was waiting for my connecting tube listening to nortt I noticed a very strange thing. I’m not sure how often these guys are updating the news, but to the left of me random person a3118 was reading the Metro with headline ala ’87 people killed in plane crash’ whilst to the right, person c7249 was sporting the same daily publication with headline ’88 people killed in plane crash’.
The misery of the occasion was well captured with Nortt’s wailing, whilst the story was well captured with the Metro’s… well updated facts?
May they rest in peace.
What was the airline?
