Prayers for these travellers.  I can't imagine the horror.

How long before we learn that Bush's second grade teacher's neice's mailman's mother was on the flight?

Amen.

As you can imagine, my heart went into my throat when I saw the first pictures of that crash today.  I could imagine (sort of) what those passengers went through.

737s are the workhorse of the domestic airline industry.  All the major carriers fly a LOT of them.
