I was listening to one of the many great songs by John Legend called, "Show Me". The overall melody of the song is uplifting in a way but the lyrics are kinda sad. I looked the vid up on youtube and saw at the end, that it was dedicated to two guys, Yaguine Koita and Foda Tounkara. In the music video Legend follows this kid around and at the end the kid sneaks into the grounds at an airport and boards a plane by climbing one of the wheels. I thought it was a bit strange till I google the two guys names.
In 1999, the bodies of these two men were found in the right hand wheel bay of a plane that had traveled from Conakry, Guinea to Brussels, Belgium. They carried a letter that was addressed to officials of Europe. You should read it!! Here's a link to an english translation of the letter
Oh yea... you should listen to the song as well=)
