Reactions to Germanwings crash that speak from the heart

It's so hard to find words for this catastrophe. Everyone is talking about the Germanwings crash and many reactions have impressed us. Right in the heart of such sentences

In the morning the shock: A plane crashed ? A Germanwing s-flier? On the way to Dusseldorf? To grasp this message at all takes most people. And the first shock is followed by more news that deeply affects. There were two more people on board than in the first reports. A school class. Babies. We follow the news without really grasping it.

So many friends and acquaintances write on Facebook and Twitter how shocked they are :

"It is so incredibly sad."

"We are in thoughts with the relatives."

"My deepest condolences to the families."

"I cry."

Again and again we see the black bow with the flight number.

Germanwings itself has dyed its logo black as one of the reactions - a mourning ribbon.

At half mast, the flags at the Reichstag and the Dusseldorf Town Hall.

The school class came from Haltern am See. There, sadness and compassion are especially deep, collected under the Hashtah #halternamsee.

Even the news professionals are shocked. A journalist of the ARD tweets in his private account about his feelings:

With breathe comes the sorrow, my condolences to the # Germanwings # 4U9525 victims. A colleague takes over the live ticker: http://t.co/ydEAXaD9Dp

Moderator Dunja Hayali explains why this crash hits us so much:

every misfortune is a nightmare. The "nearness" makes it somehow worse. RIP # 4U9525 #GermanWings pic.twitter.com/Kc7oF5JRfW

And Jan-Josef Liefers certainly speaks with these words to many from the heart, celebrity or non-celebrity:

I think of the #Germanwings # 4U9525 passengers and shut up ...

Now we just let this grief stand and give it its place.
