Happened to me and the twin I got my ME in. Gets your attention it does.

Remember TWA 800, which blew up off the coast of Long Island? My DPE
brought that plane back from Athens as captain the previous evening. It had
2 crews on board, one flying the plane and one being deployed to Paris for
some other assignment. They were all colleagues and friends of my DPE.
While this HPN tragedy is not of the same magnitude, I now understand a
little better how he must have felt.
