Plane Crash

No, I was not on the plane that crashed. Because of my fear of flying in bad weather on dubious airlines, I weasled out of all trips out of Kabul. The reason you haven't heard from me is because Friday is the Afghan "Saturday" (i.e. no work) so I had no e-mail access.

Unfortunately, there were over 100 people on that plane, and seven international aid workers. The international community in Kabul is tight, and it seems everyone who's been here more than a month knew someone on it. People are very upset.
