LETS PRAY TOGETHER

We all woke up to distressing news on saturday morning that- a Kenya airways plane flight 505 with 114 passengers, including the crew, had gone missing on route to Nairobi. Kenya Airways lost contact with the plane soon after takeoff from Douala. The control tower received a distress signal from the aircraft before the loss of contact. The flight originated from Port Bouet Airport in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire, but made a stop in Douala to pick up more passengers. It departed Douala at 0105 GMT (0005 local time) on 5 May 2007. It had been scheduled to arrive in Nairobi at 0315 GMT (0615 local time).

After two days or so, of franting search, the plane's wreckage was finally found throwing the country into a period of deep mourning. Kenya Airways Group Managing Director Titus Naikuni said in Nairobi that local fishermen had led rescuers to the crash site."We are told the aircraft was covered by a canopy of trees, and that was the delay in sighting the crash site," he said.

KQ 507 had only 9 Kenyans on board. The majority of passengers were from Cameroon (35) India (15), South Africa (7) and 6 each from China, Cote 'd Voire, Nigeria and Britain. Most of the other 17 nationalities represented from both Africa and the West were mostly 1 person from each country. This gives you a pretty good idea of how KQ has grown to be a trusted and reliable airline to persons from literally every corner of the globe.

Kenya and other nations are in mourning for their dear ones. Capital in the Morning crew, together with the entire Capital fm, wish to take this opportunity to send our heartfelt condolences to the family, relatives and friends of those who have lost their loved ones. We pray that God gives you al lthe strength you need during this time of mourning. Its God how gives and takes. As a nation , lets pray together. With prayers, we will get through this.

Any words of comfort and encouragement will go along way in helping us all in staning together- peace be with us all.
