The Boeing 777 passenger plane was shot down, last Thursday, by the hands of those yet unknown. "We are devastated by the loss of such a wonderfully kind, wise and compassionate woman who was greatly loved by us all. She was a great friend and mentor to me personally." Teammate, Kelly Bainbridge, said of Karlijn, "She was so intelligent and such a hard worker. But rowing was her passion." Calling her rowing technique was "pristine," Kelly added that "if someone was having a tough day, she would give them a pat on the back." Many of the victims were headed to an International AIDS Conference in Australia, including prominent Dutch scientist Joep Lange—a pioneer in HIV research. (Photo: Joep Lange/via CNN) Fellow HIV researcher, Trevor Stratton, who had arrived for the conference on an earlier flight, noted what a huge loss the tragedy was. "What if the cure for AIDS was on that plane? Really? We don't know," he said. "There were some really prominent researchers that have been doing this for a very long time and we're getting close to vaccines and people are talking about cures and the end of AIDS. And you can't help but wonder what kind of expertise was on that plane." Read about some of the other passengers by Clicking Here.
