I was one of the agents working flt587 today..and as soon as i heard the news my heart dropped to my feet.

I was just taking my break at about 915am when we got a call into the office telling us 587 went down...only a few minutes after we worked the flight..

My hands are still shaking as I type and am home now. to thnk that all those people we boarded and said farewell to are now gone.....I can still remember a mother travelling with her twin boys...another pregnant lady with a small child....a family of six going to a wedding....all those smilling faces so happy to travel and see their loved ones......I cant understand why.....I was on board that aircraft this morning little did I know the ill ending it would soon encounter..I even spoke to one flight atten. who told me she didn't feel well and that she thought about calling in sick, but later decided that she needed the hours.......

Her smiling face still lingers in my mind.... before I got off the a/c when I went to see if we were ready to board I was chatting with the rest of the crew and joking about not having enough soda or something like that.....

I can still see them chatting and giggling in the galley...my god why all this grief again.........this time it hit me right in the face..........why god.........why

Why bother?

What does an emotional response add to the investigation?
