Crazy how we haven’t had hardly any plane tragedies in 15 years and now suddenly three in less than two weeks. Condolences to the family of the person who lost their life. Glad it wasn’t worse. It’s a miracle there wasn’t an explosion.
And my thing is, it’s been 36 years and they’re just noticing this now?
Between the crash with Razzle, the 80’s and 90’s lifestyles, and this, I’m starting to think Vince has 9 lives. Glad his girlfriend is ok.
