Airbus A320 Crash In French Alps-As many as 150 people are feared dead after an Airbus A320 passenger plane crashed …

Too tragic for words...In this case, 8 minutes of sheer terror for all on board. I can't imagine such terror. Crashing on a 6,000'+ mountaintop makes it even worse. It is so true, we humans are not in control of our very lives as we like to think. Anything can happen at any time. So sad...If each person has minimally 1 or 2 loved ones? The "toll" is really over 300-400 lives changed forever...If not more.
