DHAKA, Bangladesh -- A Bangladeshi Biman aircraft lies at an angle after it skidded off a rain-soaked runway. The plane, carrying 87 people including five crew, hit a large puddle of water before veering off the runway injuring several people. (10/08/04 AP photo)

Nice picture. Hadn't heard about that incident, but it doesn't surprise me. That airport is one of the worst we fly into. I avoid it like the plague, especially the overnights ( because there is a real chance of catching the plague ). Most of the city was under water for the better part of August due to the monsoons.

If ever your children complain about not having enough money, etc. take them on a trip to Bangladesh. That will seriously alter their perception of the world. I've had flight attendants break down in tears on the bus ride into the hotel because it is such a depressing site to see children, old people, and mutilated people come up to the bus begging for money.

Saw the same thing in Nairobi, Juba, Entebbe, others... A wake up call for sure.
