Nancy – it keeps coming to me.
Looks like the middle of Kinshasa. My wife worked for Air Portugal
after the war in Durban and we flew to Europe a lot – freebies. One
engine shut down and the TAP plane had to land in Kinshasa and we had
to wait two days literally barricaded in a hotel as the streets were too
dangerous – this is mid 1980s. What a nightmare of a place. The airport
runway was littered with wrecked planes. If you go on google maps and
google Kinshasa airport – and zoom down – I did the other day – you can
still see planes just abandoned – I am talking about large passenger
type planes.

So sad to see the collapse of this once wonderful City, Johannesburg. I
personally witnessed much of the degradation as I worked there for five
years. Here I've put it all together thanks to
