I just returned from two weeks in central Europe. As always, I do an inner cheer when I land safely at both my destination and again at home. I don't have a fear of flying, but there is a risk. This morning on Twitter, I learned about the most recent airline catastrophe. A missing Air France jet was "hit by electric fault" en route from Rio de Janeiro to Paris. Read more about it on CNN.
