“1303 GMT: Prime Minister Gordon Brown says he fears British citizens may be on board the aircraft.”

Oh no, there were British citizens on board, too!? Now we’re worried…

Things like this upsets me like no other. It shouldn’t matter whether or not the people on board were British, American, French, Brazilian, etc.  A person’s citizenship doesn’t change the fact that we’re the same – we’re human. Take it another step and we’re all living organisms on this earth. A speck of life in the universe. And yesterday’s crash took away lives. Does it really matter if some were British?!

My condolences goes to the family and friends of those who died yesterday. I don’t care about what country they came from. Knowing that doesn’t, er, shouldn’t, make the situation more of less worse. The pain felt is universal. Anyone who has had to deal with death will understand that feeling. It’s about the loss of a life … not about one less citizen from your country.
