Welcome to the Tudor Dixon podcast. I think we're all still reeling from what we saw last week at the airport in Washington, D.C., and also in Philadelphia, we had two plane crashes.

One was the small aircraft in Philadelphia that was an ambulance aircraft, and the other was an American Airlines flight that collided with a helicopter at the

Reagan International Airport in D.C. And there were no survivors. I believe in either of those

examples there, but with both the helicopter and the plane and then the ambulance airplane as well,

no survivors. And I think the entire country is reeling over this. We see this

and there brings up a bunch of fear over flying, but also just the knowledge of all of these

families that have lost someone. I mean, I think as a parent, I watch this and I go through

and I see these stories of kids that were lost,

parents that are lost and kids that are now without a parent. And you just watch this and you

think, how do people get through this? And then you see people who, I mean, I think we all watched

where the man was in the airport. And if you didn't see this, it was very hard to watch.

There was a young man in the airport. He was waiting for his wife. And he had just received a text

from her saying, we're landing. I'll be there in 20 minutes. And he was waiting to see what happened.

And a reporter came up and asked to see the text message from his wife. And people were like,

wow, this is so invasive that. But I think at that time, I give that reporter maybe a little

grace because I think at that time, that reporter probably didn't know what was happening either

because it's so unusual to have an aircraft just go down like this and to lose everyone on

board. But I'm so glad that we have someone

with us today who wants to talk about this. And her situation is she's lived through this herself.

It's a devastating situation. But I think all of us are in that at that moment where we're saying,

how do you get through something like this? What where we're saying, how do you get through something

like this?
