Horrible...

... to  realise that the Germanwings crash is somewhere I know. I spent a wonderful holiday in Seyne-Les-Alpes around 2002, I've stood where the BBC are reporting from, I spent a week on the field where the rescue is based - it's the local gliding club. I always feel a personal connection when there's an air crash, because of what I did professionally, but a physical connection to the place is new

SO sorry to hear this.

I always feel a personal connection to an air crash, because I am sure I will die the minute I get on the plane.

Did you ever get to fly in a plane you'd worked on?

I mostly worked on military types, so no. Only civilian type I spent time on was the Boeing 777 and I've never taken a long-enough haul flight to end up on one.
