Flights

Just in case the last few posts give the idea that I am being blasé about the possible loss of life that could have easily occurred:

They said the airlines to be targeted were United, American and Continental, bound for New York, Washington and California. BBC

I am booked on a Continental flight on August 27 to Newark, New Jersey (What the BBC would call New York). The wife and I had also planned to go to London this summer. Wed didn’t go, but if we had it would have been this week and we could have ended up on a flight out of Hearthrow just like we did last summer.

This hit home hard.

But the point is that terrorists want to terrorize. If you’re scared they win.
