The Nightmare in Reno
Posted: September 25, 2011
Tragedy at the Reno Air Show…
What are the odds
that the air show in Reno
would prove to be such a gamble?
Scores scrambled and ran for the lives.
Wives, husbands, grandparents, children.
But not all.
Some couldn't.
There wasn't time.
At least eleven died
as the Galloping Ghost
bucked off her rider
before blindly barreling
into that unsuspecting crowd.
For crying out loud!
In light of the tragedy
that has cast a dark pall over our nation,
weeping in silence is hardly inappropriate.
It is the right way to respond
to such an unthinkable wrong.
