Over the last few weeks I have been watching this beautiful aircraft arrive and depart several times per day, as it passed by my classroom at Kidlington. When I watched the incident scene on the TV news I had a bad feeling it was the same aircraft, which proved to be the case. Even though I know it is by far the safest form of transport, I guess it brought home to me each time I fly in an aircraft it really is on a wing and a prayer.
Condolences to the relatives of the deceased. If the passenger was indeed on a gift voucher flight, one can only imagine the pain and anguish the friend/relative who bought the voucher could be feeling, but they are not responsible.......sadly, sometimes these things just happen.
