What are the chances that if someone threw a ndengu at kenya, it will strike you lol

Reminds me of similar scare in 1979... @Njung'e, do you remember Skylab?

Some people sold all their earthly belongings thinking it was going to be the end of the world!

However; this is a clear proof of how the mass media likes blowing things out of proportions.... So what if this satellite crashes on a house and kills two people? Would that be more catastrophic than, say, the fire at Sinai that killed 100; or the bus accident at Manyani the took 13 lives? Or indeed the 100,000 that perish in an earthquake...

I still remember the "Bird-Flue" fiasco. All health authorities in the world were "forced" to give priority to a treatable disease that has killed less that 20 people in the last three decades! Our very own Beth Mugo had to go to work on a Sunday to address a press conference called to explain what the government is doing about the single case that had been detected in Kisumu!

What a waste of time!

Wako na kelele sana...I remember text msgs saying that people should not go to sarit centre as a case of bird flu had been detected there. its all coz the media misreports things. Cigarettes kill more people daily than the obscure chance that all the satellites we have fell on the same day. WHO says "On a worldwide basis, Cigarettes kill the equivalent of 1 jumbo jet crashing killing everyone every hour for 24 hours a day, 365 days of the year."

And the goddamn thingy has landed...and the buggers don't know where any of the pieces landed! Do you really believe they don't know where it landed with all that technology? Were they not able to trace it up to it's final disintegration? Even a single of the 26 pieces they were talking of?

It's been long since the highlighted word was used in the manner my teacher taught.
