That is a shocking and sad story! I have been to Baltimore airport on route to California LA when my son was very young who travelled with me by American Airlines. His sister stayed back in London with her Dad and she went to a day nursery so her Dad could go to work.
This is a similar type of accident which can occur when double decker buses or lorries drive under low bridges, or indeed when very thick trees line the road and round here near Notting Hill, tree surgeons cut back the trees very regularly.
This incident must have affected many and there must be much activity just for example trying to reclaim the cargo that the ship was carrying. My thoughts and sympathies are with all concerned. Penny Nair Price
