This is happening right now, very sad. -_-

Engine fire explodes causing plane to skid off runway. Plane splits in two...

Mas de 100 muertos en el peor accidente.

Spains news articles are quite graphic see photos:

I only browsed quickly thru the articles but are they suggesting sabotage? One piece mentioned there was a delay due to engine trouble.

This really makes me feel comfortable, flying out of country less than a week from now. There is another trip planned for Madrid soon as well. Hmm. :mellow:

In English too, my apologies I get carried away at times :blush:

and just out of respect for the grieving families, I am placing this and really don't care what any of the usual trolls say.

Dear Father in Heaven,

You know the sorrow that is in many people's hearts today. You are the God of comfort, the God of peace and the God of love. You care deeply for those who have perished. May those who are left behind receive the comfort you so willingly wish to extend to them. I praise You for those who survived this crash and pray that you will heal those who are sick and bring them to a full recovery.

I pray this in the name of Jesus.

I sometimes forget how the media can use very graphic images are in these countries. Do they really have to show the victims all layed out and uncovered?

What galls me is how the news people try to interview the traumatized families as they rush to find the latest news. They jab the microphone in thier faces and use zoom in camera. Pathetic. :angry:
