Plane crash memorial
On January 3rd 2004 a Boeing 737 crashed into the Red sea here in Sharm el Sheikh, killing the 148 people aboard.
The reasons for the crash are unknown to this day.
A few days ago I visited the memorial.
Regarding the names on the monument, whole families were wiped out it seems.
It’s hard for me to fathom that anything that cruel could happen at a beautiful place like this.
Am 3ten Januar 2004 ist eine Boeing 737 mit 148 Menschen an Bord ins Rote Meer bei Sharm el Sheikh gestuerzt.
Alle an Bord sind ums Leben gekommen. Der Grund des Absturzes ist bis heute ungeklaert.
Vor ein paar Tagen war ich an dem Denkmal.
Wenn man die Namen betrachtet, kann man sehen, dass wahrscheinlich ganze Familien bei dem Absturz ausgeloescht wurden.
Fuer mich ist es schwer, auch nur annaehernd zu begreifen, dass so etwas grausames an einem so schoenen Ort passieren kann.

have you heard anything about the cause of the crash ?
Nope, from all the things I found on google, none mentions the cause.
The depth of the water where the plane crashed is about 1000 feet.
Maybe that's why they couldn't find the cause?
