AIRLINE:

This was a troublesome day for aviation.  Our evening
news had a local angle. Three of the passengers were
from Massachusetts. All worked for WR Grace. Two
worked here in Cambridge and the other in Maryland. He
had just joined Grace in July of 2002.

No information on the Turkish disaster.

My heart goes out to all affected.
