It must be really ironic to die because of a plane crash - and not be in the airplane in the first place! Well, it has happened before, and it did happen over the weekend when that small airplane crashed into a crowded slum community near the NAIA. I guess the residents have finally faced the threat of death in the face - and with a very high price to pay! At last count, 12 people had to die because they lived near the airport! So now, the government has to enforce strictly the rule not to live very near the airport. It's relocate or die! But in a fatalistic society like ours, I'm sure the people in that poor neighborhood would just let God protect them. It's not a very easy decision since these people have jobs nearby - and will most likely be relocated somewhere farther than usual. But the bitter pill has to be swallowed now, otherwise, what if a jumbo jet crashes on them in the future! That would a disaster of catastrophic consequences!
