GEORGETOWN, Guyana (AP) — Officials say a U.S. team is expected soon in the South American nation of Guyana to probe the crash of a Boeing 737 jetliner that all 163 people aboard survived.
Authorities so far have given little idea about the cause of Saturday's crash. The Caribbean Airlines plane ran off the end of a runway at Guyana's main airport and broke in two. About 30 people had to be treated at a local hospital, including the pilot.
The airline is largely owned by the government of Trinidad and Tobago and its prime minister has visited the crash site. Kamla Persad-Bissessar says she is worried that the accident will hurt tourism to the Caribbean, a region that depends heavily on the industry. [Reply]

I've never had a problem with you Frankie but rather than spending so much time on this crap shouldn't you be curing cancer, or splitting the atom with only your mind or figuring out a way to stop those weather rings from bringing such destruction or solving world hunger or a least making a better, more difficult Rubics cube?
I just feel like there are a lot of problems in the world and our greatest mind is wasting time on Chiefsplant while people are dying. [Reply]
