In the black-and-white video the single-engine Cessna flies along the clouds in northern Peru, and it's easy to imagine 7-month-old passenger Charity Bowers wrapped in her mother's arms, sound asleep or perhaps crying for want of a bottle. The infant had been recently adopted in the United States. You know her folks are beaming. In fact, they're traveling by air from their houseboat on the banks of the Amazon River, where they are missionaries, to get a residence visa for their baby to allow her to stay with them in Peru.

| "But I think it is also fair to say that the stress levels that occurred in the cockpit on the 20th of April created impediments to any level of understanding. . ." Explain to us how an armed A-37 chasing an unarmed Cessna single engine Cessna creates stress in the cockpit? Which aircraft are you referring too. The one recieving the bulets or the one dishing them out at a rate of 400+ rounds per minute. I smell government whitewash again. [ Post Comment ] |

| The real atrocity is that it takes the death of somebody that White Americans can relate too to generate any news. If it was not a missionary, or a white female or a little kid would anybody care? Yes somebody would care, but not enough people would care enough to get this kind of news [ Post Comment ] |
