I wish for a crash landing everytime I drive and see a plane coming in…
The San Diego International Airport has one of the shortest runways in the country. They can’t expand it. On one side is the I-5 Freeway, and the Harbor’s on the other. Because of this you come in very low over the freeway.
My dad’s told me how, on a few occasions, planes in trouble have landed on the freeway. I like this idea so much, I secretly hope it will happen every time I land.

Wish I had one.
Hint: I’m the younger brother.
The Heaven’s Gate suicides happened a few miles from my house.
My mom, who worked for the San Diego Union Tribune, was sent last minute to cover a press conference. So last minute that she had to bring my seven-year-old brother and eleven-year-old me.
It was held at a high tech office where a few members had worked. Their coworkers were answering questions from reporters. I leaned over to my mom and said, “I have a question.”
I asked what the members had on their desks. The coworkers said nothing, they didn’t have any pictures, and kept them very clean.
Then my younger brother asked if they liked them. One of the coworkers began to cry and said, “Yes, very much.”
