Jay is there anything to gains by going missing? There are too many Nordic people that went missing. <<Officially 52 Swedes, 21 Norwegians, 14 Finns and 7 Danes has been declared dead, almost all on holiday in Thai beach resorts. However, 2,915 Swedes, 462 Norwegians, 247 Danes and 186 Finns remain missing. Norwegian officials also said another 980 people were unaccounted for. These were thought to be traveling in South East Asia and could have been in areas affected. Among other European countries Germany reported 34 dead and around 1,000 missing with Italy 18 dead and 660 missing, according to Reuters.>> These numbers are not adding up.
