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.
Meditation XVII - (with apologies to) John Donne

Tonga: Don't Fly Here



AP Video - Thursday, March 19, 2009 at 10:28 EDT

Scientists sailed on Thursday to inspect an undersea volcano that has been erupting for days near Tonga, shooting smoke, steam and ash thousands of feet into the sky above the South Pacific ocean.

Don't fly over Tonga.
This video of scientists reminds me of watching a guy walk out on a plank and then sawing off the end he's sitting on. "Run away, better start it up, turn us around already, turn us around, turn us around, get the nose"

At least they weren't in a plane...
