Thread Name: Morecambe Bay Tragedy
Subject: RE: Morecambe Bay Tragedy
Yesterday, a Saudi plane went down with now 45 dead. The pilot has prevented a bigger accident by clever steering. Wrong thread? No.

The flight was full of foreign workers who just had to fly out of Saudi Arabia for a very short time in order to renew their work permission (fly out, renew permit, fly in). That was the only (silly) reason for this flight.

Being a foreign worker in most countries (for differing reasons) is less safe than being a native worker.
