The Germanwings Crash Makes Me Sad

It makes me sad that 150 lives were needlessly lost.

It makes me sad that someone who clearly needed help did not, or could not, get it.

It makes me sad that the actions of one person can tarnish the reputation of an entire industry.

It makes me sad that the media is more concerned with being first than being right, especially when human lives are part of the story.

It makes me sad that some people are more concerned that news networks are using Boeing images where Airbus images should be, rather than the people who lost their lives.

It makes me sad that a tragedy that should bring people together is instead dividing them.

It just makes me sad.
