I ve also heard many stories in Japan about people who drowned at sea and came back pale and blue to say good-bye. Many people believe that when death comes so abruptly, the soul is jarred from the body unprepared to make the journey to the other side, and wanders around in our world. These are not just deranged medicated psychopaths that hear voices at night. These tales are told and retold to educated, well-balanced people. Some are politicians, some are Shamans, or just ordinary people.
Entire cultures believe differently than some mainstream Western beliefs.
I saw a photograph of an Indian couple that was at the beach blessing passengers that were aboard Flight 261. American Indian people know. Their medicine is very strong. But there are other graveyards such as off the Long Island coastline or Chesapeake Bay where airliners have perished. There are graveyards that are particularly famous or infamous among sailors where ships have been lost.
