its all a question of timing..it just wasnt their time. My thoughts are also with those witnesses who could see the faces of those in the plane. The people whose house got destroyed are the lucky ones,they only have to rebuild bricks and mortar...I expect there will be a backlash against small airports near residential areas etc until some other disaster takes over the news..

my house is directly under the flight path for luton airport,if i look out of the velux window in the loft i can see straight down the runway
but if you worried about that you would never sleep

btw roads are much more dangerous than planes

3000+ ppl died in 2006 on our roads,a staggering amount of deaths when you think of all the families etc

wonder wot that is as percentage population percentage of road deaths is supposed to be going down...used to be said by a comedian of note that 30 % of accidents on the road were caused by drunk drivers, therefore 70% were caused by sober drivers...you can see where this is leading..
