A bad day in Miami and a new political headache for Germany

Original version ·

Things just got weirdly heavy on two different continents at once.

A cargo plane went down at Miami International Airport, leaving five people dead. It is the kind of sudden tragedy that makes you look twice at the sky, but there is not much more to say until the investigators finish picking through the debris.

Meanwhile, across the pond, Germany just hit a political wall. The far-right AfD party finally managed an electoral win in a key state. This is a massive shift for a country that has spent decades keeping the radical right on the very fringes of power. The establishment is currently staring at the results in total disbelief.

History tends to repeat itself, usually when everyone is too busy looking at something else.

    The AfD win was inevitable given the state of the economy. People are just tired of the status quo.
