Plane Crash in Burma
I am not sure if you heard or not but there was a plane crash
in Heho, Myanmar on December 25th.
A dense fog provided minimal visibility and the plane crash landed on a
field next to the runaway. Unfortunately
there were two casualties (one on the ground and one on the plane) but it could
have been much worse.
The thing about Myanmar is that you need to fly to get to a
lot of these cities unless you want to take a 14 hour train or a 10 hour bus
ride. Since time is of the essence for
us, we of course had to fly. The day
after the plane crash we ended up flying into Mandalay Airport where the plane
took off from and three days later we flew into Heho Airport where the plane
crashed.
The day after the plane crash we had a whole plane to ourselves. We had no idea why and every other plane was packed. We wondered if the crash had anything to do with it. |
Sure enough, the wreckage was still visible and you can see
the path it took with a passageway of broken trees along the roadside. It was a wild site to see and it makes you
remember that traveling can sometimes be dangerous. Yet, those dangers will never inhibit me from
seeing the world.
The fenced in area was the crashed plane, very visible from the side of the road. |
