George’s Point of View
Judgements and awards offer no closure.
For those left behind, the accidents are never over.
Angela de Marchi lost her husband in September 29 2006, a Boeing Legacy crash, when 154 died.
She lost him again at the crash of Tam Congonhas Flight 3054 July 17 2007 when 199 people died.
And now this new Airbus crash…she lost him again.
For the families, each new crash brings the memories back, the hope, the loss.
