CD for crash victims

CD for crash victims

SINGAPORE (DPA): Two Singapore musicians are releasing a compact disc of songs to commemorate those killed in a plane crash that stunned the tiny island nation last year, reports said yesterday.

The CD features songs such as End of the Road, which has lyrics penned by a 15-year-old girl who lost three of her school teachers in the crash.

The work is dedicated to the victims of Singapore's SilkAir flight 185, which nose-dived into an Indonesian river en route from Jakarta to Singapore on Dec. 19.

All 104 passengers and crew on the Boeing 737 died. The cause of the crash is still unknown.

Proceeds from sales of the CD, titled Missing You ... 185, are to be donated to Singapore's Assisi Home and Hospice and Germany's Mayday, an organization which helps the families of pilots killed in the line of duty.
