Bogota, Columbia -A Boeing 737 Aires jetliner with 131 passengers crashed on landing and spit into three pieces at a Colombian island in the Caribbean early Monday. Experts are claiming the crash was due to getting hit by lightening. The region's governor said it was a miracle that only one person died. All but 6 passengers were taken to the hospital for a range of injuries, but those 6 passengers did however need a change of underwear. Click here for story from an real-life news source.

Whole lotta science/learnin' going on for a Monday morning. I am disappoint….
it's not "Columbia" it's Colombia
and denmark is danmark. no one gives a shit, sorry to break it to you
Can we say United Steaks of America? No one gives a shit dont they?
i do, my point was how we speak here.
Thank you. From now on, I think I'm going to spell the US like this: Staits United
And Niits…what-ever-the-fuck-that-is and Juanca, if nobody gives a shit, then WHY THE FUCK DO YOU WASTE THE MINUTE TYPING YOUR POINTLESS FUCKING RESPONSE?? Fuck you, I'm Colombian and I give a shit.
Yeah, and it's not "david" sanchez, it's dirty sanchez
What did that 1 person do to piss off the powers that be?! It really ruined everyone elses day.
really amazing that only one person died, a small tragedy instead of a disaster
I am NEVER EVER booking another flight with Aires! I've heard stories of what sort of negligence happens their hangars and this does it for me.
The lightning didn't break the plane apart, it probably killed the controls and discombobulated the pilot. The landing is definitely what broke it apart. Take that to the bank.
It's that damned Elyse Porterfield again.
She posted this here and then copied it onto every news site on the planet.
So, because one guy showed up at work hung over, and forgot to coil the wires, this happens? Hell, the Enterprise gets hit by Romulan plasma torpedos and doesn't have this kind of damage. Scotty, put down the Scotch and fix the shieids!
How the hell did only one person die and the plane look like that?
i live there sweet island btw.
Except for the massive pieces of metal plummeting from the sky. Yeah I'm sure it's an awesome place to live
Lightning doesn't cause a plane to crash. It was likely a microburst that dropped down on top of him as he was about to land and the extreme downdraft of air slammed him into the ground before they could recover. That and wind shear are the most dangerous parts to the severe storm that was obviously right near/on the field.
There have been at least two other similar 737 Next Generation (-600 through -900) accidents where the fuselage has broken into three pieces. In Feb 2009 a Turkish Airlines had a hard landing in Amsterdam and in Jan 2010 an American Airlines broke into three pieces in Jamaica. There is also an on-going law suit against Boeing for nonconforming structural components in this series of aircraft. There is also suspicion that the Kenya Airlines crash in Cameroon and the Ethiopian crash in Lebanon are also related to structural issues in the Boeing 737 NG. All national aviation authorities should be advised of known nonconformities in the primary structures of Boeing 737 NG aircraft, so that their independent investigations may draw accurate conclusions.
Come on guys!

jucamana,
We get your point douchebag….
LOST.
it was not a lightning, but a weird change of speed and direction of the wind just before the plane touched ground. And the only victim was a 78 years old woman who had a heart attack at the moment of the accident. Greetings from Colombia (or Columbia, I don't mind)
It is COLOMBIA not Columbia. Please correct.
Its Colombia you fucking retards….
