Cyprus plane crash victims "frozen solid"

This is a very disturbing.
Most of the bodies recovered from a Cypriot plane that crashed near Athens with 121 people on board were frozen solid, a Greek official said, suggesting the airliner was a flying tomb before it plunged to earth.

As accident investigators combed the crash site for clues, aviation experts were baffled at what appeared to have been a catastrophic failure of cabin pressure or oxygen supply in freezing temperatures at 35,000 feet -- nearly 10 km (6 miles) up, higher than Mount Everest.

One expert said reports of extreme cold suggested there was no air circulating in the cabin.

Just wanted you to know, Sue and I have really enjoyed reading your blog in the mornings. We miss the more personal insights that made your interesting but understand how you feel like you need your privacy. We still try checking it each morning but it has just become less of a pressing issue since we get the same information from our newspaper and yahoo news website. So we're gonna take it off our regular-site list and maybe check back in a few months to see what's been up.

Hope things go well for you during school, keep your chin up and fly right. Stay out of trouble, honey. But if you get into any and decide to post about it, let Suzie and I know!! We would love it if we could start reading your blog again if you ever decide to open back up. It is just those personal insights about you and your art and your family and your boyfriends that make it so fascinating. We have been interested in watching your development unfold from art student to artist and role model for other gay and lesbian artists like yourself. It is a big responsibility, don't ever forget that! Just wanted you know we have enjoyed these posts and wish you the best of luck as you keep growing!!! Don't stop growing darlin! Its the only thing that matters in this world.

I am sorry they have shut you down and you feel like you dont want to express anything personal anymore. These news clips and movie mistakes are not the real you. We dont care anything about that shit but its YOU we care about. Just dont forget to keep it real and be yourself.
