Today there was a plane crash in Afghanistan that was really terrible. The plane exploded and a lot of people died but CNN made the title as “Plane crash: Kills 7 Americans”….umm wtf? Many people died on that plane, not just Americans.
Just because we are in America doesn’t mean that we are the superior people. They should’ve gave the number of how many people died on that plane.
Only 7 people died in this crash because it was a cargo flight. All were Americans.

This Day In Wrecks
1972: Alitalia Flight 112, bound for Palermo out of Rome, crashes into Mt. Longa while in contact with Palermo approach. The DC-8 breaks up on the slope, killing all 115 people on board. Pilot error is cited as the cause.
A video with color footage of the wreckage can be found here, but it also contains graphic imagery that is not the focus of FYW, so click with caution.
Some conspiracy theories about bombs are also discussed here (there were accusations of Mafia involvement), if you can read Italian.
