you probably saw this in the news, but they just added an interview with the guy whose family was killed when a fighter jet crashed into his house in san diego. the pilot ejected and was ok, but two kids, the mom, and grandma were in the house and died. the father of the family was at work. the guy goes on about how he doesn't have any hard feelings for the pilot and how everyone should pray that the pilot doesn't suffer emotionally from what happened, and he's one of the nation's treasures. wow.
