| Tumie | PLANE CRASH IN THE NETHERLANDS | 11:40 |
|---|---|---|
| tyche | What happened? | 11:40 |
| Tumie | near amsterdam a plane crashed... it was a plane of "turkish airlines"... | 11:40 |
| Tumie | possible an engine faillure.. | 11:40 |
| Tumie | in turkye they say their are no deaths.... but we in holland see here already "body packs".. | 11:41 |
| Tumie | at least 5 deaths... 10-20 survivors.. | 11:41 |
| Tumie | 127 passagers in the plane... 7 crew.. | 11:42 |
| Tumie | no explosions or fire | 11:42 |
| tyche | 5 deaths... 10-20 survivors... 127 passagers in the plane... 7 crew... The figures don't add up. | 11:43 |
| tyche | Sounds like they're still searching. | 11:43 |
| Tumie | yes | 11:43 |
| Tumie | their are more than 20 ambulances ready.. 3 helicopters.. | 11:44 |
| Tumie | CNN is showing it.. | 11:44 |
| tyche | How long between the crash and the time the rescue workers showed up? You're still in winter there, aren't you? | 11:45 |
| Tumie | it is winter here... the rescue workers where their very fast..... | 11:45 |
| tyche | The reason I asked was the probability of hypothermia. | 11:46 |
| Tumie | i know... but i'm serious right now XD | 11:46 |
| tyche | Oh, I don't doubt that. This is a serious situation. If they can't find the survivers in time, they freeze to death. | 11:47 |
| tyche | Being in shock, they're even more susceptable to that. | 11:47 |
| Tumie | it is not freezing .... | 11:48 |
| Tumie | and.. i don't think that their are more survivors | 11:49 |
| tyche | That extends the time, some. But the problem is that in shock a person's core temperature can drop. Add an outside temperature below the normal body temperature, and it's not good. | 11:50 |
| Tumie | I see people walking in the plane and walking out of it (ambulance crew) and i think they already checked everybody | 11:56 |
| tyche | Yea, I just read the BBC account. | 11:57 |
| Tumie | tyche: what is an "meeting for the press" in english?? | 12:00 |
| Tumie | that all the press comes togheter and somebody tells news.. | 12:01 |
| Tumie | pressconferance or something? | 12:01 |
| tyche | OH! . . . I know what you mean, and the term slips my mind. | 12:02 |
| Tumie | "press conference" ? | 12:02 |
| tyche | Yea! Sorry. Thanks. Sometimes it's not good getting old. :-) | 12:02 |
| Tumie | :P | 12:03 |
| Tumie | now their are ambulances.. | 12:04 |
| Tumie | 3 with lights on | 12:04 |
| Tumie | how do you say that "holding an press conference" ?? | 12:04 |
| tyche | NPR, BBC and Reuters are all saying that there were no deaths. | 12:04 |
| Tumie | because Turkish Airlines said that an hour ago | 12:04 |
| tyche | "holding a press conference". Before a vowel, "a" becomes "an". | 12:05 |
| Tumie | ty :) | 12:06 |
| tyche | NP. That's one of those things that even confuse English speaking people. | 12:07 |
| Tumie | we had it on school. but i still don't know the difference.. | 12:08 |
| tyche | A lot of people get confused when initials are involved, as to whether one goes by the letter or by the sound of the letter. Basically, "n" acts as a bridge between words where the initial sound of the following word in a vowel. | 12:09 |
| tyche | So . . . "a house" or "an opening" | 12:09 |
| Tumie | i understand :) | 12:11 |
| Tumie | a sunglasses,, an idiot | 12:11 |
| tyche | Yep. Hee hee | 12:11 |
| Tumie | the press conference of "schiphol" (airport) starts at 12:30 GMT... that is in 17 minutes.. | 12:13 |
| Tumie | in the dutch ubuntu chat, their is somebody who doesn't know if his parents where on the plane.. they should call when they arrived, but they still didn't call.. | 12:22 |
| Tumie | press conference started | 12:33 |
