KAL007
Just wondering if you've personally known anyone who died in an airplane disaster?
Today I can think of two: Congressman Larry McDonald who perished on September 1, 1983, when a Russian fighter pilot shot down this commerical airliner. Here's a link to a short bio.
The second is a college classmate: Dennis Connell who was aboard a flight that crashed near/around Chicago. He was working for Regnery Publishing, but I need some help with the date and airline. Scroll down on Regnery's about page to read about their company history. Added later: Jack saves the day with details: American Airlines 191.
70 years ago today Germany invaded Poland and W. H. Auden wrote about it.
Just pondering....
and remembering.
