Most of us have already heard the tragic news of the MAS aircraft coming down en route to Beijing.  If there are those who wish to "put up a thought" regardless of whether they be Christian, Muslim or whatever, pray not for those whose lives have been taken asunder - all the prayers in the world won't do them a ha'peth of good, but pray for the bereaved - those whose lives will NEVER be the same again.  The only consolation - if there is one, is it must have been very, very quick, at at 1.20 a.m. local time many of them would have been asleep at the time.
