Sadly, I could find only one such suggestion, from an
unreliable source. So I went on to look for the life of
William Beckford, supposing I might have confused the
two Williams, but despite his own peculiarities, he too
seems to have escaped that logically mandated fate.

My first thought was highjacking, possibly for ransom,
possibly (after disposal of the witnesses) to control
a flying apparatus that could be used for who knows what
purpose. Or maybe some sheikh wanted a 777 the same way
crazy rich collectors will pay for the heist of a Strad
or a Rembrandt or something.

 ML> And we go on Lufthansa tomorrow to Munich.
 NB> Go safely... ;)

I'm here at my friend Rosemary's, and she asked whether
this incident would put a damper on my travel plans, and
I said, well, I've been on three flights since it happened.
All seemed normal on their face, and security in the
airports was no more silly than usual.

 NB> ... I like stuffed animals. Oven baked with bread crumb stuffing.

I prefer rice, onion, and sausage stuffing, possibly with
reconstituted dried fruit, but bread stuffing ain't bad.
