AP, rigged, etc. #8981.4 - the plot thickens

So I emailed the photographer of these jet crash pictures earlier in the thread. Pointed him to this thread and asked if he knew anything about the passengers. Just got his response:

Hello there and thank you for contacting me,

I will try to clear up some points, first the jet didn't catch fire, and actually there were six people on board. Unfortunately I only know the names of the pilots: {dont think i should probably post these}. Now that I read this thread, here is something interesting that may be useful:

The first comment reads as follows:

It was a very scary ride. hope this never happens again to us.

It was written by a visitor from Antigua & Barbuda, which kind of make sense when it comes to on-line poker and gambling. If you really need to, I will do my best to get you the list of the passengers on board. This may take me some days.

Thanks a lot, have a good night.

another response further down:

A visitor from Costa Rica posted Wed September 5, 2007:
I was a passenger. I feel blessed.

That USA Today one basically says give up, there's nothing you can do about it. Wankers.
