Of course it was a terrible tragedy and our thoughts are with the
family and friends of those affected but...did you see the report and quote from the elderly couple whose house was destroyed? "Mrs Harman arrived at what was left of her home just after the crash and sobbed: "Oh my God, oh my God, the house, not the house, a plane into my house..." She was led away by a male relative. Her husband said he would be completing his golf trip before returning home tomorrow. " I know you shouldn't but... Dave |

" > > I know you shouldn't but... > > > Dave Interesting, Dave. I can understand the Harman's reactions. A 'plane written off and five dead may be tragic but really that is the end of it all for them. Their nearest and dearest will grieve and have to adjust but their lives but will probably recover relatively quickly compared to the Harmans. The lives of the poor Harmans may never get back to anything like normal. House insurance, if they had enough cover, may not include 'planes dropping out of the sky but should hopefully cover fire damage. Their home will have been totally wrecked and all of their possessions destroyed, if not by fire then by the firemen's water. There will be little to salvage and nothing will replace the life of their home. With nowhere to live and absolutely nothing they can do for at least three or four days, Mr Harman's reaction does surpise me. I am sure he will have considered his wife before deciding to continue his golf - she may well be a strong lady who told him she was OK and had made arrangements for the next 48 hours and told him not to break off his golf because there would be nothing he could do if he returned. It is often the news behind the news which is more interesting and puts media headlines in context. |
