A Sad Day

Sadly a few people's lives will be changed today
Life for us all is a lottery, daily a game we play
Lives can so easily change at the drop of a coin
Dont be certain that normality you'll always rejoin
Plan for the future but live for the here and now
Have no regrets before taking your final bow.

(Inspired by the London helicopter crash that my guy witnessed)

A sad day indeed. ๐Ÿ˜ข

I can't believe there was only two deaths! That could have been a hell of a lot worse sad day.

I like this verse Sienna, and I too feel compelled to write about the lottery of this event

@tetti2 I know it's such a busy road there's blocks of flats a huge supermarket the tube and a mainline track not to mention it was rush hour! It could've been so much worse although it's bad enough isn't it for the family's of the two fatalities ๐Ÿ˜“

@TheCodsPollocks indeed ๐Ÿ˜“

@sjw amazing more people weren't hurt or worse ๐Ÿ˜ขโค๐Ÿ˜˜xx

What happened and where babe?

@smellyfingers helicopter crashed into a crane at vauxhall. @sjw great wrote, it's totally astounding only two people died (life is literally a lottery of who and when) ๐Ÿ˜“

So very true we can plan for the future but we have to live in the here and now for we never know a day may bring. Amazing poem :) <3

@smellyfingers the helicopter crashed on Wandsworth rd near the nine elms flower market don't know if you know it? But yeah it crashed into a crane or something hit the road and burst into flames 2 ppl died and 9 injured ๐Ÿ˜”

@chickgamer thank you for the RP ๐Ÿ˜˜

@chickgamer yeah just watched a YouTube clip and read up on it.....bloody good job I wasn't in London today, I'm on that Wandsworth road every morning! Sad day indeed! Gonna be interesting up there tomorrow

@FriendToAnimals so true ๐Ÿ˜”

@smellyfingers my guy uses it for work everyday too it said it was a nightmare traffic wise and avoided it altogether coming home so be prepared...

Yeah I know the location babe, worked in all those buildings! The pilot has worked on hollywood movies as stunt pilot, he was diverted to London heliport which is literally a few hundred yards away from crash site, said he was flying low cos fog and residents have warned that crane never had its beacon light on previously!! God knows how nobody else was killed during rush hour!!

@smellyfingers yeah I heard that didn't know about the beacon light tho I know it could've been so much worse in that location as well

Sad incident ๐Ÿ˜”

Terrible news Hun ๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿ˜“๐Ÿ˜“
