Missing

The disappearance of the Air France flight from Brazil to Paris gives me chills. It simply vanished, and is expected to have crashed into the Atlantic. How much life can change in the blink on an eye. CNN lists the passengers as:

The airline company identified the nationalities of the victims as two Americans, an Argentinean, an Austrian, a Belgian, 58 Brazilians, five British, a Canadian, nine Chinese, a Croatian, a Dane, a Dutch, an Estonian, a Filipino, 61 French, a Gambian, 26 Germans, four Hungarians, three Irish, one Icelandic, nine Italians, five Lebanese, two Moroccans, three Norwegians, two Polish, one Romanian, one Russian, three Slovakian, two Spanish, one Swedish, six Swiss and one Turk.

A stark reminder how what affects one can affect all. My heart goes out to their loved ones.
