It feels strange that amongst all the destruction and loss of life that I should feel upset that this big plane got destroyed but here we are.



There are a lot of reasons to be upset despite the fact it's an inanimate object.

It was one of a kind.

During the last few years it's been primarily chartered for humanitarian aid missions, largely in support of the response to Covid-19 delivering PPE, medication and equipment.

Not to mention it being a national symbol and point of pride of the Ukrainian people.


>"all the destruction and loss of life"

It was / is always there yet people still having fun and care about all kinds of things. This is how we were "designed".


symbols are important.


don't be so hard on yourself friend
