No safe landing for me.

Looking more and more like that Air France plane from Brazil to Paris broke up in mid-flight. Maybe at 35,000 feet. If not a horrible way to die. It certainly must have been frightening. For a few seconds. Until death came. Maybe because of the pressurization. Bodies were mutilated. Even stripped of clothing. And there were multiple bone fractures. The kind that occur from falling great distances. Guess if I had a choice, I'd still pick dying of Alzheimer's at a ripe old age than on a plane that breaks up 7 miles high. Thing is, I'd die of fright if I had to parachute from a plane. No such thing as safe landing for me. --Jim Broede
