The plane crash is certainly horrible. In a city the size of Buffalo there's usually only about three degrees of separation from an event like this, which means that just about everyone will have either a personal connection to one of the 50 people that died, or know someone who does. The Buffalo News is updating the list as next of kin are notified. So far all I've heard are stories about people who weren't on the plane, but might have been, which always makes me think of the Flitcraft Parable. We adjust ourselves to beams falling, and then no more of them fall, so we adjust to them not falling.
