Obama says crash is reminder of fragility of life

I found the plane crash particularly frightening considering that I have flown on those turbo propeller Continental jets en route to Syracuse where the ice and wind remain a factor while in the air. It is very sad to see anyone die in such a tragic accident, but revokes even greater significance when you see that one of the victims was a 9/11 widow. Plane crashes can destroy families and it just goes to show that you need to value your time you spend with those you love and care about because anything can happen at moments notice.
