I was having a great day at the airport till I came home and saw that on the news when i walked in the door. Its a bad feeling! My heart goes out to their families.

It really ticked me off then when the local news channel decided to air some "witness" that talked about how he knew this was going to happen because airplanes are always flying over the area. He kept going on and on about how the local government should do something about all the airplanes flying around and how dangerous it is.

I'm thinking he should go walk a mile down the road and look at I-25 and complain about all the people that die on the interstate everyday. Maybe the roads are more congested than the airspace and we should limit the amount of cars that can be on the road.

Flying is one of the safest forms of travel and sometimes this kind of thing happens. It is sad but you are far more likely to have an accident on the way to the airport than when you are in the air. The news always has to put some kind of spin on the story, I was amazed that the word "terrorism" was never brought up.
