Today something horrible happened; an African Airplane crashed in Libya and 103 people died during the accident.

61 of them where Dutch – and only one (also Dutch) kid survived the plane crash.

I really feel sorry for all the people involved…..!!

Today – someone, in a Dutch tv program, said something like “I called one of my friends – he was not on that flight – so I got back to my day routine…..”
Some people thought that was a bit strange to say and he reacted in a way of “If they where British – it would have been way less horrible and it would be aired on Dutch tv way less”……
This guy is now also on the news……a lot.
But is he right…?

I do think so…..;
The world is getting smaller – with being able to travel anywhere, to speak to everybody, to be updated about everything…….. is maybe also making our involvement smaller….
Less and less “other people”….. more and more “my little world”……

Yep – I do understand why this guy, Hugo Borst, did say this….. but it is sad…. isn’t it..?
