To honor the dead Flight 261 fell out of the sky at near terminal velocity. All 88 passengers and crew perished into the deep blue, and the wreckage is scattered in an area roughly the size of a football field. I fly four to five round trips per week, so it has a different meaning than to someone who never flies. At 35,000 feet going 500 miles per hour, there is very little that anyone can do when things go wrong.
Humans just weren t meant to be propelled into the sky in an aluminum canister with wings.
Icaras found out the hard way, and yet, in this techno age of fiber optics, satellite communications, and CNN, we don t seem to have any choice but to defy nature if we are to stay ahead of the game. Still, what is disturbing about this age of technology is that we have again lost our way, and our soul is paying its toll. There are many places on this earth where mass deaths took place. Mass deaths are not a natural phenomenon. It is always the result of events such as an act of war, murder, or defiance of nature such as air travel or sea voyages.
