Going from the Bay Area to Portland, and I was a bit more nervous than if I were flying on a different date.
Today is the 11th of Sept, a monumental date to Americans who were old enough to understand its implications nine years ago. This won't be a long rant, but more of a question to those Americans(or not) reading this. Hundreds of thousands of people have lost their lives due to preventable causes; dysentery, malaria, war. Do you think it's justifiable for Americans to see the ~3,500 deaths nine years ago as a major national tragedy, or are we overreacting considering it's a statistically trivial amount in comparison to the daily horrors we are generally naive to?
Infinite respect to those who have died that day nine years ago and those fighting to prevent it from recurring since then.
A little perspective on things could never hurt. Anyway I can't believe it's already been 9 years.
ReplyDeleteThat would have been a little scary huh.
ReplyDeleteI hate planes, those peanuts are just not enough
ReplyDeleteplanes are totally safe
ReplyDeleteI got two packs of peanuts on Southwest Airlines, going from Oakland->Portland. Wish I had more :(
ReplyDeletedriving to the airport is more dangerous than the flying.
