RIGHT NOW, PLANE WITH MORE THAN 244 ONBOARD JUST CRASH… See more

When tragedies like this strike, they remind us of how fragile life is and how deeply connected our world has become. A single flight can carry people of many nations, many families, many hopes. For the families waiting for answers tonight, what matters most is not speculation but compassion, clarity, and truth.

The investigation will take time, but its purpose will be to uncover what went wrong — not only to assign responsibility, but to help ensure that such a disaster does not happen again.

And beyond the technical answers, there is the human need for mercy. Our tradition teaches: “He who remembers death often, his heart comes to life.” In moments like this, we are called to lift our hearts — to pray for those lost, to comfort those left behind, and to remind ourselves that every soul is precious before God.

May the departed find peace, may their families find strength, and may our collective grief become a call to compassion, safety, and care for one another.
