Take a moment
My sincere condulences to the Family of the suddenly passing away Colleague. It is a tragedy for everyone to suffer such a unexpected loss.
Just take a second and imagine what would happen to your life if you get notified of the fact that the Person who left home for work does never return. How much would you give for one more moment to wish at least a final farewell and say good bye. Such fate should make us more aware to appreciate our loved ones even more and dont take everything for granted.
Congratulation to the F/O and ATC, both handled the situation well mannered and calm as possible. A cold shower runns down my back if I think that would have happen in another part of the World. Somewhere in the "Eastern Hemisphere"
