Aircraft Accident: A Child's Perspective

Recommended Posts

My older daughter had asked me about the 9-11 attacks and the current conflict. I told her about the London and Madrid incidents. She asked if the crash in NY involving the Yankee pitcher was also war-related. I said no, that was just an accident.

My seven year-old was sitting nearby reading a book. As she flipped the page she said "Maybe he was talking on his cell phone."

Cheers,
Jon S.

Hey John, I think we know each-other, we have jumped a few times together up and The Farm.

Anyway, kids do say some funny stuff. I took my kids to a Commerative Airforce Hanger in Peachtree City. I was showing her a SBD Dauntlass, and explained to my oldest daughter that it was used in WWII to sink Japanese ships, and that it was essential to the winning of the Battle of Midway.

After I explained all of this to her, we were standing on the wing, near the canopy, she turned to me and said "Daddy, that is not nice to sink ships." I really did not know what to say. I assured her she was right, but it was kind of funny.
