I was here when the Air Dominicana landed "on Fire", burned in half on the runway, the 2 halves were towed behind a hanger. Thanks to God no one got killed. The papers said that the plane was not damaged, the passengers even got their luggage back! Bad news is No News in the DR. If you have a death wish ,buy a ticket. It will become a souvenir, you pay for a ticket,they take the money, planes never fly! This is like a re-occuring nightmare here in the DR!! Criss
