Irish Air Disaster

[percy1946]

Irelands' worst air disaster occurred early this morning when a small two seater Cessna plane crashed into a cemetery.
Irish search and rescue workers have recovered 1826 bodies so far and expect that number to climb as digging continues into the night.!!!

Sorry don't find that funny at all, rather bad taste actually considering they are currently trying to find one of the forgotten!

[murraymints]

I agree with Islay...bit thoughtless ?

[ummmm]

It's an old joke.

[ummmm]

Who is one of the forgotten?

[-Talbot-]

It's a very old joke ... Hardly worth getting your knickers in a twist over it.

[Islay]

Ummmm the forgotten are a group of about 20 people who were from NI, they were kidnapped and murdered by the IRA as it was thought they were informers, most were just mums and dads or even schoolteachers.
The one they are looking for at the moment was a schoolteacher kidnapped from france whilst on a school trip.
They were taken beaten and tortured and then murdered and buried and the IRA refuse to say where they are.

LOl....LOL...good one percy.

[ummmm]

I didn't know that, Islay. Well, obviously I knew what the IRA got up to...just didn't know they were still searching for bodies.

[Islay]

Yes unfortunately Ummmm its quite heartbreaking

[-Talbot-]

But has nothing what so ever to do with this very old joke.

[Sqad]

It doesn't matter whether it is an old joke or a new joke......it is an Irish joke in the JOKES section of AB.
Nothing yo do with the IRA.
Some people will find it funny, others won't.
That's jokes for you.

[ummmm]

I did find it funny when I heard it about 30 years ago :-)
