Once more I was up in time to go to church by Radio 4.
By chance the service came from Glasgow.
Needless to say the horror of Friday night’s accident, & the helicopter
landing on a pub full of people, cast a certain shadow over the service. It is
difficult to come to terms with such an event. Even drawing out the good, the
efforts of so many people to help the trapped & the injured, it hardly
seems to offset the ill.
The Fox commented that he is always deeply suspicious
of helicopters. They seem to be involved in so many accidents. I can’t help
thinking I can recall so more helicopter incidents than airplane ones. They seem to be result in death so often. Yet these same helicopters are what
are used so often for air ambulances, coastguard, police etc.
Still I suppose it does put in perspective our own
demise. On Friday we heard our main computer has had its day. It will almost
cost as much to repair - without any certainty of much continued longevity - as
to buy another. We’re off to the shops to look tomorrow. A computer can easily
be replaced unlike a unique life.
