We just arrived home from camp, and I am catching up on what happened while I was gone. By far the biggest news item here was the crash of the Tam flight in São Paulo.

The video seem below (from a Brazilian newscast) is sobering. It shows the doomed plane on its ill-fated landing attempt. The last clip shows the light from the explosion can be seen. Close to two-hundred people lost their lives in this--Brazil's deadliest airplane accident to date.
