Today is a day of national mourning for the victims of Malaysian Airlines Flight MH17 that was shot out of the sky over Ukraine on the 17th July.
38 Australians, including children, lost their lives along with 193 Dutch, 43 Malaysian, 12 Indonesian, 10 English as well as people from the Phillipines, New Zealand, Canada, Belgium and Germany.
This is the second tragedy to strike Malaysian airlines this year. Back in March Flight MH370 disappeared from the radar screen as it flew from Kuala Lumpur enroute to China. To this day the plane has not been found. There have been no signs of wreckage and it remains a mystery as to what happened to the plane. Australians were also on board this flight.
Amen from me too. It's just awful what is happening in the world today. I had wanted to do a little bit of travelling after retirement but have since changed my mind. I'll take my chances on a flight within the States, but that's about it. I always pray that each flight will land safely at its destination.
ReplyDeleteWere you able to see this latest Super Moon? Pogo and I travelled to the ocean to watch the moon rise over the water, and it was just awesome. Pogo so enjoyed walking on the beach and meeting so many people. We'll have to go back again before the summer is over.
You have a wonderful day, hugs, Edna B.
