why does it impact us?

This article impacts us because many people got killed and we fly a lot on airplanes. This will make Airbus be not so good because more Airbus planes have crashed and less Boeing planes have crashed. I feel sad for this kid because he lost his family. If I was that boy I would have preferred dying because if survived you'll be sad a lot of time.

Why does this Impact us??

Also this makes the other airlines see the no fly list. In the end, both the government and security at airports should be more careful.
