c'est la vie?

Today at the office we were frantically asked to prepare a speech on the role of ad hoc tribunals in ending impunity for war crimes. About an hour later I was in my supervisors office as people were running in and out asking questions passing around phone calls. All of the sudden someone comes in and states that they are very busy as “there has been a plane crash, but everyone is fine.” Then she ran off down the hall (retelling this I am picturing the white rabbit in Wonderland.) Turns out a plane went down in Kigali, and the man we were writing a speech for was on it. Only bruises though, so we are carrying on with the speech.
