(20,776 posts)A firetruck, that was rushing to the plane, another died under the wing, outside the plane. Its too horrible to contemplate. Both had been ejected out of the tail section. It numbs the mind thinking about it. Both were Best friends according to their classmates.

Ye Mengyuan, 17, and 16-year-old Wang Linjia were joined at the hip after becoming classmates four years ago. Both excelled in school and dreamed of a bright future.

(25,183 posts)And there's nothing like that first moment when you meet them at the airport. Their young minds and hearts are full of expectation, and it reinvigorates you to see the fountain of hope that they carry with them.
It is so very sad that the hope was extinguished so completely and suddenly. I've spoken with families who sent their children to be in my care, my heart goes out to them in so many ways...
