Tragedy in Madrid

Just been listening to the news report on the dreadful plane crash in Spain which happened earlier today. It's believed that the majority of the passengers and crew have perished in what is the worst air disaster in Europe for many years. Air travel is deemed to be one of the safest forms of transport, but we must never get complacent. It's the main reason why I get really hacked off with selfish passengers who continue talking while the pre-flight safety demonstrations take place. Yes, we've all probably seen them done many times, but everyone should have the ability to shut up for just a couple of minutes - not only as a courtesy to new travellers, but also so that we all get a regular refresher of what we should do in an emergency. I pray that those who have survived today's plane crash make a speedy recovery, and my thoughts are with the families and friends of those who have died.
