Never mind the internet, or the views of strangers - how about this:
I landed at Schiphol 20 minutes after EL AL crashed in AMS some years back. My (ex) father-in-law, having seen a flash report on the news about 'an air disaster in Amsterdam' (no airline mentioned at that stage) cheerfully phoned his daughter and my elderly mother with "I don't want to worry you, but...............etc, etc" Well, you can choose your friends- but relatives.................?
So, naturally, I agree with every word you say.
