I'm pretty sure by this point everyone has heard about the plane crash that happened last night in Buffalo, NY. Now if you had told me this 2 years ago I wouldn't have really considered it more than the tragedy of a plane crash killing 50 people. But now this has a more special meaning to me. My best friend is from Buffalo, the baseball team I used to work for is based in Buffalo, and I have been to the Buffalo airport several times. One of which was a very scary almost landing that could have very easily been this situation.
My heart and prayers go out to the families and friends of the people who were on that plane. I don't know how you ever really grasp something like this happening.
I have never been the biggest flying fan. I'm claustrophobic so every time the door closes I have a small panic attack and I'm afraid of the plane crashing so every time there is a slight bump or dip I tend to overreact. Things like this just make it that much more real in my mind. Now I know there are hundreds of flights everyday and it's been 2 years since a plane crashed in the U.S. but it shows you that you can't take anything for granted because you never know when it's your time.
Now my best's friends family is still in Buffalo, well West Seneca to be more specific and her family is visiting her in Hilton Head, SC right now which means they will have to fly back to Buffalo soon. I haven't gotten to talk to her since this whole thing happened but I'm sure she is worried about that and the fact that she is flying here at the end of the month. I would be a little worried too.
We won't know for a while what happened or exactly how many lives were lost but until then keep the families, friends, loved ones, and the people of Clarence in your thoughts and prayers.
