I never watch the news these days so I only knew because we were collecting my son from his friends and it came on the tele. I know it's a rare occurance - a plane crash but because so many people are involved it always seems so tragic. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

And just in defence of God, he can't stop everything bad happening, it's not part of the plan. Hard to understand though I know. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

The only consolation is knowing that accidents like this are, thankfully, very rare. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

Krissy---your sister has absolutely nothing to be nervous about. Just look forward to her holiday and the great time she'll have in Spain. An elderly friend is flying for the first time soon, and spent ages with an email to him yesterday going through the whole flight for him so he wouldn't be nervous of ordinary things that are applicable to aircraft and flying. What I thought about afterwards now seems disrespectful and inappropriate to mention, so I won't, suffice to say some wouldn't believe it anyway. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

I love them dearly. We can learn so much from them and their experiences through life. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

I flew his flight on the flight sim with various internal/external screenshots for him to help him see various things pointed out. He's very excited about his new experience to come. Peter, that was one of his areas of concern, now that you mention it. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions
