I will not ruin this moment with an inadequate mobile phone photo, but golden dawn light was hitting the Han River just so when I commuted into work today, and it was so beautiful. I understand why #Korea is called the land of morning calm.

A tragic follow-up. Nearly all the passengers on the flight to Korea were killed. My heart goes out to their family and friends.

Sad to start my Bluesky feed with a tragedy.
@koryodynasty.bsky.social reporting for @theguardian.com that a Jeju Air plane crashed in S Korea, killing 20+.
Terrible thing to happen during the holidays.
