The sky fell twice

Today is September 13th. This day I was planning to update the blog with my article about Dudu Topaz, but a terrible incident happened this afternoon, and I just felt a big commitment to relate to that subject.

Asaf Ramon, the son of the late astronaut Ilan Ramon, was killed today in a terrible plane crash above the Hebron Mountain. The plane was an F-16, one of the Israeli Air Force's most advanced planes. Asaf stated more than once, that he wishes(gr.) to follow in his father's steps, be in the air force and eventually, become an astronaut. Who could guess they would have such a similar path?

I was watching the television and I was watching Oded Ben Ami, a former army man and a well-known news anchor, literally crying. He just couldn't believe what happened; I can't believe what just happened. Who possibly can?

I was listening to the radio and I was hearing the song "Niga El Hachalom", which goes; "we'll meet, we'll see each other… it is now past, it is now over", and just couldn't not relate these specific lines to the tragic losses of the Ramon family. I've seen how the media was terribly worried, shocked and tragic.

Can a lightning really hit the same place, TWICE?

Asaf Ramon and Ilan Ramon, R.I.P
