And Yet, We Still Know Nothing
Posted by Tata | 9:35 AM
In October, Jill mentioned Joe Sharkey's account of surviving a mid-air collision between a small, private plane and a Boeing 737. The jet crashed, killing all 154 aboard. Nobody on the smaller plane was even injured. Sharkey's story in the Times was notable not just for the events themselves but for the author's thorough bewilderment. He simply didn't know why he was alive while so many other people lay dead in the Amazon rainforest.

Brazilian authorities have an idea. The pilots of the plane in which Sharkey was a passenger have been charged in connection with the crash. This article is full of no details whatever, like why. What do the authorities think the pilots did? When will the trial or trials be?

More waiting. More wondering, I guess.
