Article entitled: ‘Sixty-three still hospitalized, six critical, after Turkish Airlines crash’, dated February 26, 2009. Excerpt: Hollywood actor Kevin Costner was recently hired to star in an advertising campaign for Turkish Airlines. Costner's commercials were to be broadcast in 70 countries. An Turkish Airlines advertising department employee said the promotional campaign was suspended in the wake of the fatal plane crash.


They say that things like this “come in threes.” In the month of February, according to the site:

There was a helicopter crash in Chanco, Chile, on February 15th, which was carrying firemen to a nearby forest fire when it crashed into a fog shrouded mountain killing all 13 aboard. Then on February 20th, a cargo plane crashed on take off in Luxor, Egypt, killing the 5 people aboard. Then there was the THY crash on February 25th, in Amsterdam, Netherlands, killing 9 of the 135 people on board and injuring many.

It was just January 15th when the US Airways Airbus A320 bound for Charlotte, N.C., struck a flock of birds during takeoff and was miraculously ditched in the Hudson River by its pilots, with all 155 on board safely rescued from the plane by boats.

I think the fact that airplanes fly at all is a miracle!! I am amazed by the technology that was realized in order to create them and keep them flying!! And I wish every flight could reach its destination safely!!

I pray for all the families and loved ones affected by these crashes, that they will have comfort and peace in the knowledge that they will see their loved ones again one day. There is a heaven…..
