At the tail end of an article, The New York Times admitted that Black Hawk pilot Rebecca Lobach, who crashed into an American Airlines plane in January, “failed to heed a directive from her co-pilot, an Army flight instructor, to change course.”

Perhaps none, but the last act of her life was heedlessness. It killed everyone in her copter, and everyone on the airliner. All fell to their deaths.
Proverbs 10:8 The wise in heart will receive commands, But a prating fool will fall.

Our goal should be to help Europe correct its current trajectory.
