Well spoken Swallwing, but we must also not forget those that were killed or injured on the ground.
Spare also a thought for those working on the ground, many on a volunteer basis, to help save lives and find those trapped in rubble and debris.
From the avaition perspective the repercussions of this event will impact on all avaition professionals for a long time to come. We must support the efforts of all governments and agencies to step up policing and security.
I must admit I dislike seeing armed guards roaming the terminal, but fear this will be the norm in the future.
My condolonces go out to the families of the crew and passengers.
