This tragedy affects me more than I think it would, and I don't really understand why.
I do not know anyone on board, but yet last night, as I read the articles, I started crying.

It just breaks my heart that 298 lives were cruelly taken away so unexpectedly, by such a horrible twist of fate.

I cannot even begin to imagine how their loved ones feel at this moment.

My heart goes out to the family and friends of the people on board MH17.
