This is beyond a tragedy. My heart is beyond broken.
I live in the United States, there have several train derailments in different states lately, with several deaths, destruction, damage to the environment and to people’s health with NO accountability.
If that isn’t bad enough, now, there have been several “near-misses” in the sky with airplanes , airline pilots sharing the same runway trying to land at the same time.
May all of the deceased victims memories be eternal.
Let’s all light the traditional memorial candles in our Greek Orthodox churches and pray for their souls.
