I saw the news.
I've flown that company's commuter flight many times.
Early repts say there was ice on the wings.
I remember sitting on the tarmac for 4 hrs once, while we waited in line to be de-iced. It stunk. It gave me a headache. But I kept reminding myself, I'm alive. I'm safe. This is a good thing.
I am so sorry for all those people. And for the airline. (One of the pilots was a woman. I love it when I hear a woman's voice come over the speaker. Just a throwback to my feminist 70s days.)
The sad, scary part is that when there's a car accident, it wipes out 1 or 2 people. with-an airplane, it wipes out dozens.
