Hashem should watch over all of us!

Nebach Hope no yidden on the plain. Although it shuldn’t happen to anyone flying.
Some high-profile people in their respective fields there. When I read the list I wondered if sabotage is involved in this tragedy.
Or perhaps terrorism, which (an explosion) would explain the sudden disappearance.
# 30. Dreyfuss is a jewish name I think
Looks like Michelin lost three of its international directors.
18. Júlia Chaves de Miranda Schmidt, mining lawyer. – why does that name sount Jewish?
I wonder if any of the ‘asian’ comrades (with nearby bases) had shooting practice that day?
Yes, this group does sound like a professional educated one. Who knows where they were heading and why?
