The site of the crash, in consideration of reports and maps, appears to be in the area where the Mekong River starts to break away from running alongside the Laos-Thailand border, and north of Pakse.  Alternate spelling of Pakse is Paxse.  Pakse/Pakxe is renown in the Province of Champasak.

The travel route to the plane was from the city Vientiane, in a southeastern direction, and went down about 5 miles from the locale immediate of Pakse.  Both of these cities sit near to the border of Thailand.

The list of casualties includes nationalities from about 10 countries.

Crash is reported to have occurred about 4pm in Laos locality, local time, Wednesday.

Exterior of the plane based on photographs of it in other conditions, has sea blue paint on the back and mostly white paint.

We, HCN, are actively looking for a new host for this website, due to suspect and unusual activity on the website by some other party outside the intended original author, such as changing the message through ditzy misspellings or grammatical alterations, while lives have been sacrificed for decades. We do not bow to racially based societal pressures and notions of constructs devised to facilitate self-degradation.
