The story about the Air France flight that disappeared is completely heartbreaking. What an awful thing to have happen. 228 people suddenly gone.
I hate the idea of plane crashes. You board the flight fully expecting to land safely at your destination. You usually board a plane after experiencing a new place or on your way to experiencing a new place. Sure, some bad thoughts may cross your mind in preparation for the flight, but there's no way to prepare yourself for a tragedy.
Just thinking about all those people on the French flight...228 families are grieving, all united in a way that they probably never wanted to be. And think of the last moments on that flight. So many things probably went unsaid by those poor passengers. They couldn't even make that last cell phone call to say that last I love you.
I watched some clips of United 93 in class the other day, and it's a fictional story of the fourth plane of 9/11, the one that never made it to its destination. The people in the plane made their last phone calls, and it was so heartbreaking. The entire class was silent afterwards.
