BIOGRAPHY

Yaguine Koïta (born September 25, 1984) and Fodé Tounkara (born April 6, 1985) were stowaways who froze to death on a Sabena Airlines Airbus A330 (Flight 520) flying from Conakry, Guinea, to Brussels, Belgium, on July 28, 1999. Their bodies were discovered on August 2 in the airplane's rear right-hand wheel bay at Brussels International Airport, after having made at least three return trips between Conakry and Brussels. The boys were carrying plastic bags with birth certificates, school report cards, family photographs and a letter. This letter, written in imperfect French, was widely published in the world media. Several associations commemorate Yaguine et Fodé annually on August 2nd at Brussels Airport. Their story was made into a film - Early in the Morning (Un matin bonne heure) in 2006. Singer and songwriter John Legend dedicated his 2007 song Show Me to the boys and their story.
