Bozeman Chronicle: Phaethon


This particular article was from the Sunday, February 15,2009 edition of the Bozeman Chronicle. Ofcourse, it was also national news and all that was on the one channel that I recieve up here in the sticks.

The headline read, Investigator: Plane fell flat onto Buffalo house.

It was the heartbreaking story fo an ill-fated flight that crashed into a house in Clarence Center, N.Y., killing everyone on board and one person from inside the house. The survivors from inside the house were a mother and daughter pair. Now tell me that the godesses were not some how involved in that miracle.

It was a sad and tragic accident. While I was reading the article I could not help but think of Phaethon's fall from the heavens to the unforgiving ground below. It was only Phaethon who lost his life after his tragic episode with the sun god's horses, unlike this sad story where the only survivors were two unsuspecting women and one young man who did not get on the doomed flight. Hopefully, this young man will consider Phaethon's fall and the fate of the passengers on that flight and consider each of his remaining days a gift from the gods.
