Thank you God, they are home.
My heart was stopped, while reading about the wife wanting to be the first to spot the airplane they were on.
There are many on FR that can tell you the same sort of thing happens from inside the plane as well and those windows are only so big and not big enough. It's been that way since the military started using planes to move troops and stopped using ships.
They are as happy to be home safe as we are to have them home safe.
