I have to second that.
Canada's been there to back up the US in this, cleared its air space and
received almost 300 planes that couln't land in the States (and I think that
it could have turned out as a dangerous move, if there had been other
pirates on board). Not to mention Québec offering the use of hospitals and
counsel to the passengers, and the RCMP and Provincial Police helping in the
investigation.
Some people may have sneaked down through our frontiers, but others seemed
to have gotten directly to the States without much problem, even getting
their piloting lessons there. Those people were well prepared, well trained
and had *big* backup. It was well planned, and had been for a long time,
too...
Since I'm here, I'd like to offer my deepest sympathy to the victims'
families: American, British, Canadian, and all the others... So many who
won't get to see their loved ones again because of a bunch of fanatics...
What happened is a tragedy, a senseless tragedy.
Who needs aliens to make people suffer in fiction, when we have other fellow
'human beings' that do so in so brutal a way as those who acted this week
did?
