In the wrong place at the right time
The three years I lived in Kirksville, MO, I took the regional commuter flight to St. Louis and back several times.
Almost two years ago, I was en route to New York (to meet Mike and see Avenue Q Off-Broadway). The plane took off from Kirksville and then immediately landed because of engine problems, resulting in the cancellation of my trip.
Last night, that same commuter plane crashed, killing 13.
I feel the same way I did when I saw my undergrad dorm on fire on CNN.
