yes because they tragically were involved in an aviation accident they deserve all our condolances and thoughts and so on. Had it been under many, if not most, other circumstances no one on this thread (save friends and family that might be on here) would have even known about the loss, and if you had you would not have encouraged the rest of us to pray for them. If your thoughts have to be with anybody it should be with real sufferes of this world and that category of people is never the subject on this forum.
In my opinion this is no more nor less tragic then the loss of life in other circumstances, families suffer the same no matter how it happens but it seems that when it happens in aviation there is this exaggeration of how tragic it is, in both media and by some on here.
keep it real folks, it's tragic, they deserve our respect but please don't tell me who I should pray for
