We return each night to our peaceful room in this tropical garden to enjoy another lovely day here. However, we tune in to BBC world news from Singapore to the dreadful news that a German Lufthansa plane has gone down in the French Alps. It is looking like a strange accident with no SOS, warnings or anything. Gradually the terrible truth comes out that the second officer locked out the pilor and plunged the plane and all passengers into the mountain side!!
It's inconceivable that anything like this could happen to a German company, normally so incredibly careful about safety, security, etc. There are many Germans traveling here, I am sure they are astounded as the news unfolds, as we are.
Slowly facts creep out that in fact this young troubled man did just that! What a terrible thing for the passengers at the last minute to see it coming. All those young students, the two opera singers with their promising careers, everyone on board - and the anguish of the pilot to have left the cockpit and be competely unable to change the course of that plane.
Yes, every day is a gift and I am glad we are so luky to be savouring them now.
