Testing

This was the day of that plane crash about a year ago, or the bombing or missile-hit or possible terrorist event as the news crews liked to call it, or whatever it was where the plane leaving New York burst into sudden flames and sizzled down into the ocean. Several people saw it happen, someone videoed it, the weird jiggly clip was shown across every station for about seven weeks looking like a scene from some homemade Homicide with the jerking camera and black nighttime sky and then zwooping in real fast on a flare of light way off in the distance that didn’t look much bigger, even in close up, than a match’s quick flicker before vanishing, presumably in the ocean.
