Another plane emergency

Authorities meet Thai airline officials over plane emergency. :

"Thai Airways flight 981 from Bangkok burst a tyre and swerved down the runway.

There was also a small fire in its undercarriage."

How many more planes ? How many more emergencies? How many more airports and howmany more times are we going to put up with it? For years we have flown with few problems, yet this year it's been one plane after another . If it's not planes, it's trains. If it's not trains, it's the weather. If it's not the weather it's a disease. If it's not that it's cars. If it's not that it's explosions. If it not that...it's twisted behaviour. If it's not that it's another company collapse. If it's not that it's famine. If it's not that it's food not getting through. If it's not that it's a helicopter. How long are we going to put up with this? How long are we going to accept it? How long are we going to sit here and accept the world is suddenly much worse than it ever was and when we ask we get different and disparate answers. Do we sit here and let the chaos reign around us or do we set the picture straight? We have to have eyes in the back of our heads looking for the trickery and smuggling, then the courage to take on yet another disaster. So, where is it all getting us? Do we ignore it and hope it will go away or do we realign it? Has to be something we are doing because we are unbelievable skew whiff this year and only we have been here. I look around me and the bulk of the people I am associating with, who surround me, whom I meet are decent, lovely people. So why is the world so bonkers and why are we getting more and more and more dysfunction. Because it's reported more? We've had reporting for years. Because we notice more? I doubt it. Because we focus on disaster? Well, we keep having the biggest and the best. Why is that? Have we had enough yet? Have enough people died yet? Have enough people had the wits scared out of them? Shall we just keep going and wait for it to change? Shall we just focus on the good? That hasn't changed anything. Go with the bad? No way, we're not like that. So what then?
