·Probably not the best place for product placement.
Not to make light of such a terrible tragedy. It does go to show how events shape the lives of everyone. Not just those locally affected. While I have spent time in Western Switzerland, I have not had the pleasure of visiting the alps themselves.
I always find Swiss architecture and design to be something comforting. So it becomes incomprehensible when such things occur.
Words can not express the emotion of what I feel. Forty years ago I came with in feet. Perhaps inches of a fireball, when a twin engine plane crashed into a local shopping mall two days before Christmas. It is something I tend to compartmentalize. I noticed that there was little in the papers to note the anniversary. I did see a short thing in the local history section of the family Facebook feed. It is hard to think back to such things. Stuff I really do not want to remember. There was a comment that not even a memorial plaque marks the event.
All I can do is offer condolences to those who were lost. Light to those who need it. Sympathy where it can be accepted.
Such things also touch those who were not directly affected. Survivors guilt, or PTSD.
It also remains important to remember situational awareness. Where the exits are and to remember that people gather together to be happy, have fun and a good time.
