"LA BOUCHE SINGER DIES: Former La Bouche singer Melanie Thornton, 34, was among those who perished in that Swiss plane crash on Saturday near Zurich. Of the 33 passengers on board the Crossair jet, only nine survived. Thornton was on tour promoting her solo album, eerily titled Ready to Fly. "

my first thought was "a plane crashed?" news coverage around here really sucks.
