Remember that there are about 25,000,000 Christians in India. Chances are, there were around 10-20 Christians on that airplane. (especially considering it's near both Goa and Kerala, which are both about 1/4 Christian)

Just sayin'

It is something I think about a lot more often these days ... scripture, I mean.

There's at least one FReeper in Karnataka.

I haven't been much outside Bangalore. Judging by dress, I'd estimate there are a much higher percentage of Christians than Muslims. People died. There were Christians amongst them, not that it matters. It was a tragic accident.

Another troublesome factor about this morning is that there is a cyclone in the area and this is the monsoon season. Bangalore was pretty calm last night (no rain) and this morning, Mangalore is near by so it was probably about the same. Mrs. Altair informs me that there was a somewhat rough ride from Mumbai (her plane landed at 5:30am).

I think it would be higher as Mangalore is a specifically Catholic part (check wikipedia for Managalorean Catholics), so probably 1/10th to 1/5th of the plane could have been Christian.
