    I think that on the blind side of the public, the bodies could be put in cocoa side alright and then put the cocoa sack into the corona body bag with two people carrying one bags on shoulders with a long stick. Human dignity ...

    But, human beings were able to carry them easily on their heads? What is the CDS saying? They should not provoke us!

  • BODIES STILL HOT AFTER TWO HOURS? 4 months ago

    ACCORDING THE NDC THE SEARCH PARTY SPENT ABOUT TWO HOURS TREKKING TO FIND THE WRECKAGE. SO WERE THE BODIES STILL HOT AFTER TWO HOURS? WHY WERE THEY ABLE TO CARRY THE SACKS SINCE THE JUTE SACKS CAN ALSO GET HEATED?

    So cocoa farmers could carry hot bodies in cocoa sacks on their heads. This CDS should be sacked.

    The CDS should stop talking and explaining because the more he talks the more holes he punches into his explanations.

    Once the victims were burnt and dead there was no emergency at that time. The Army could have provided ...

    This lieutenant is an idiot. If the bodies were TOO HOT for the body bags, then surely it will burn those cocoa bags unless the bags were lined with fire proof materials.

  • NAMELESS 4 months ago

    You are a SUPERNATURAL FOOL! You do not even know the difference between a lieutenant and a lieutenant general.

    Body bags are made from polythene which easily gets burnt with small degree of heat. The cocoa bag used to ...

    Jute bags withstand heat much better than polyurethane bags. This is simple science. There are too many illiterates and poorly educated people on this platform who don’t even understand what they write for the public.
