As a nation we had just begun to recover from the deadly
collision on Wednesday night
When a Marine Helicopter flew into an American Airlines jet
in its landing approach to end its flight
Both chopper and jet exploded and fell burning into the Potomac
River
All 67 in the air died as midair collisions are not known
for being survival deliverers When in the City of Brotherly Love a girl
returning to Mexico after her life had been saved by treatment
Into the skies in a Medical Evac Lear Jet with her mom and 4
others went
Reached 1650 feet and then suddenly like a rocket plunged at
great speed into the ground
Another crash leaving federal authorities facing the task of
causation to be found
One hopes the girl was sedated as It is hard to even begin
to possibly comprehend
The joy the patient and mother must have felt before their
lives in seconds came to a tragic end
We mourn for the dead and a pray for the living to find the
crash’s cause
So steps can be taken to fix the plane’s or the pilots’ fatal
flaws
And are thankful that although some homes and autos were burned
Along with some injuries but so far we have no deaths on the
ground learned
