A Note to Our Readers

Dear Readers,
We make a special effort here to record the facts as we receive them. At times, there may be error but we do try to use our best judgement at the time of posting, and will be glad to amend any details which are proved incorrect. Furthermore, even though we do not here discuss the human cost, we realize that losing anyone in an air accident is insurmountable tragedy to individuals, families and communities. We do extend our heartfelt sympathy to those whose loss we record here. "...any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for..." us all.

Update on Bolivian Helicopter crash

Bolivian President Evo Morales is suspicious about the helicopter crash that killed five people, because the accident happened right after he had disembarked. After he used the helicopter, it crashed adn killed five people, so he is suggesting that the incident was "probably not accidental". The helicopter was on loan to Morales by Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez,

Sunday, Morales used the Super Puma and was scheduled to use it again on Monday from La Paz to but the helicopter crashed one hour after Morales got off on Sunday.

Four Venezuelan military personnel and one Bolivian major aboard were all killed in the crash. Morales linked the crash with two others involving Bolivian Air Force aircraft this week that are still under investigation. This is not the first time that Morales has said that a conspiracy against the government was involved.
