Default Airliner crash

Nigerian airliner crashes into neighborhood, no survivors of the 153 onboard and no count from the ground.

Seems like the only place with less airline safety than Russia is Nigeria.

Not that I've seen tons of them, but whenever there's pics of plane wrecks in 3rd world countries you see tons of people climb up on what's left of the plane. I wonder what the attraction of doing that is.

Maybe to soon of a joke, and not really meant to be a joke, but the first thing I thought of when I saw that pic was Vancouver about 1 year ago.

At first when I saw the news report I thought it was a case of looting. However when I watched the news at night they said that the people that swarmed the plane were looking for survivors.
