Flight 587

And Another Today,
A Crash in New York City
Is this a life of normalcy?
Are we forced to become desensitized
So we can get on with our lives?
Or live each day with the guilt that
Only luck saved our lives,
And we are fortunate to not have to say,
"Mi hijo esta muerto," today.

-in memory of the victims of Flight 587 which left JFK Int'l Airport in New York City on November 12, 2001 en route to the Dominican Republic and crashed into an apartment building in Queens at around 9:15 am. Around 150 Dominicans were killed. A total of about 250 people were on board.
