Mailbox full

Post by wijnand »

Hi guys, I wanted to mail Luc (em@globecargova.org) but the mailbox is full! So I put the message in the forum.

===============================

Hi Luc,

I had a flight planned for 30 april (PAC998), because in Holland 30 april is a national holiday and we all celebrate the birthday of our queen. Which means, a day off!!
But, while we where watching the tv and many people where watching the royal family passing in a bus, some idiot drove his car through the crowd, and tried to hit the bus. He missed, and collided against a statue.

For the rest of the day, we only watched TV and browsed the internet. I did not think of flying.

The result? 7 people dead, 11 wounded incl 3 children.

We are used (unfortunately) to the bad news from Iraq etc in the news. But seeing a live attack on your queen on a (what should have been) celebration ..........

Maybe it is time to emigrate to the planet of the apes. Maybe there is more common sense and humanity there?

Take care,

Wijnand (pilot 1174)

Greetings and happy landings,

It was no fundamentalist or what so ever. Just a nutcase I guess. He was a loner they said and just went without work (fired). I guess we'll never know why now :shock:

Hello Wijnand,

Yes I saw the very sad event on tv, what a stupid action by a very sick person, I guess. My email box was full while I was away for 2 weeks, I am getting very tired of these people who want me to loose weight or make part of my body grow enormously.... There are also some very sick people behind all these spams we are getting, filters are useless, either inefficient or too efficient, a real nightmare!

Cheers
Luc
