Downed Flights

Does somebody have it in for Malaysia?  First we had the passenger plane that dived into the Indian Ocean, and now the passenger plane that got shot down in Ukraine by Russian rebels.

Fiorella mourns all those lost--drowned in the ocean or exploded in mid-air--but the latter event was especially heinous.  The first plane might have had a mechanical or electronic malfunction, but the second was targeted by angry men who wanted to show off their new toy.

Fiorella doesn't like catastrophe of any kind..  She doesn't want anyone anywhere to get hurt--on purpose or by accident.

We need to take better care of each other.

Seven Hours

Fio once spent half an hour stalled in a highway traffic jam so she sympathizes with air travelers stranded for seven long hours on the tarmac. If her thirty minutes felt like seven hours, just think what their seven hours felt like.

Surely there is a way to disembark passengers after an hour of no go--the doors do open out as well as in. Think about it.
