Wolfgang ( a former bunderstag president ) have many rude comments about Swabian newcomers. It took the debate to a whole new level.  It wasn’t good either. He’s lost many peoples liking because of his intolerant comments.

A while back while World war II was going on, Many Christmas cards were sent. There was one Christmas card that wasn’t sent out. 71 years ago a male sent a christmas card out and his wife/kids never recieved it. Many more were found after that.

In Blog 10 I talked about the Plane Crash, That happened in Hesse.
After the crash they said no more planes are allowed to fly while it snows. Weather its lightly or not. They cut 150 planes that were scheduled to fly because of a snow storm. They are expecting to cancel more outgoing and ingoing flights.

A few days ao two planes were fyling small boxes and what not, in Hesse. They collided and fell to the ground killing 8 people. 4 were children and 4 were adults. No body was in the plane but when they came down to the ground it  landed on some and bits and pieces flew into people. The case is STILL being invested to try and figure out HOW they fell or even crashed.

NEWS.

Biggest news right now in Germany is about their Cancer treatment. They have a machine that helps the “diease”. Doesn’t disapear but it tones down (meaning its not a serve). t’s been having shortages and isnt working the way they want it too…or need it to. The pharmaceutical companies are saying “We feel as if the machine isn’t doing what we need it to do. It’s financially worth our time anymore.”  The machine is widely used among germans with cancer. The people that control the maching are worried about “shutting it down”. In my opinion, I wouldn’t shut it down.
