The aircraft had stopped in the coastal city Douara in Cameroon to pick up more passengers and lost contact with air traffic controllers shortly after takeoff. The flight was bound for Nairobi when it sent out a distress signal.Search efforts to find the jet have been hampered by fog, rain and the thick jungle in the surrounding area. Furthermore, the plane's emergency transponder has been silent. 114 people from 25 different countries were on board.

Mayweather victorious over De La Hoya in split decision

In a bout that was hyped as a fight to save boxing, the 2 to 1 favorite Floyd Mayweather Jr. defeated underdog Oscar De La Hoya in a split decision. The sellout crowd witnessed both fighters going full tilt from the opening bell for a full 12 rounds, with neither fighter going down. While De La Hoya had thrown more punches and was more aggressive, Mayweather won the fight with his superior defence and lightning speed. Mayweather has remained undefeated in 38 fights, and earned at least $10 million. De La Hoya made $25 million from the match, which was boxing's richest fight ever for profits.

- in split decision 만장일치가 아닌

- the sellout crowd : 표가 만석인/매진된 상태 의 객석/군중

- hyped : 과대선전으로 늘리다, 속이다, 사기hype up : to deliberately make them very excited about sth.over hyped : 너무 지나치다hype : 사기, 과대선전 (don't believe the hype ! )

- full tilt : 전속력으로, 힘껏 to move full tilt or at full tilt means to move with as much speed.full speed ahead, = pedal to the metal :

-When the accelerator is pushed so far it cant move any more

- in some cars it hits a metal bar, or the end of the footwell (which is hopefully made of metal).

- Obviously if you have the accelerator all the way fowards you're going to be gathering speed...or going fairly fast.
