APTOPIX Colombia Plane CrashA Boeing 737 jetliner crashed due to lightening and thunderstorm in Bagota, Colombia. It had 131 people overboard and only one person died. This is being termed as a miracle by Times of India newspaper. Although the plane broke into three pieces – as depicted in the  picture on the left – all but one passengers survived thankfully.

But, what to say they have got only one day to paint the 22 page newspaper green…

Any opinions on this… all comments are appreciated…
