Such sad news, as is any crash is of course. Spring break, probably lots of tourists. I think this is the 1st German Wings accident.
Our thoughts prayers go out to the families of those on this plane.

I just read the news. Very sad indeed. The news doesn't look good as far as survivors go. Prayers for all involved.

The top story on the radio, first thing this morning, and very tragic. We flew out of Barcelona not that long ago, and everything went fine. Thinking of the passengers, crew, families, residents in the French Alps.

Thanks Jo.
I don't normally get personally involved with similar events but this one has hit home with me a bit more than most. A week ago today, at very nearly the same time, I was flying over very nearly the same spot - also on an Airbus 320 - on a flight from Nice to London.
Terrible for everybody, especially those parents of the schoolgirls.
RIP
