Live and die in San Andrés and Providencia Islands

In February 2005, we went to San Andrés and Providencia Islands.

40 days later, the plane in which they were taking off, the same type and model we flew 40 days earlier, a Check Let-410UVP-E, crashed on take off from the same runway. I was initially under the impression that it was the very same plane, but the picture on page 2 of the one we flew displays another HK registration number. Nonetheless, the accident gave me a lot of food for though.

We went to the island with the idea to conceive a new human being, while on a great-vacation. A plan probably very similar to that of some of the folk on the unlucky plane. A twist of fate can surely change your perspective on life. Emphasize the real important things in life.
