It Happened on the Way Home from Church

[FEB. 22, 2000]  A few months ago, my mom remarked in a letter: "Seems like lots of airplanes are falling into the water lately."

Before her letter came, I had recognized the name Bob Collins in an article about the crash, because my mom has talked about listening to him on WGN in the morning. She told me he was an experienced pilot. In her letter after the crash, she said, "With all that sky up there, it is hard to believe that two planes would come to the same spot at exactly the same time."
