I think she was on flight 800 to Paris, wasn't she?  Was that a terrorist 
attack or faulty wiring?  Tragic, either way...but thanks for making the 
connection to the tune TTT and the reference to Anna.  I never knew who she 
was singing about.  I read your post and remembered "And I thought of Anna, 
wild and dear" and thought it was touching.  Then I remembered the lines 
right before that--I watched the stars chuck down their spears, AND A PLANE 
WENT BLINKING BY, and I thought of Anna"   Goosebumps.  Just another example 
of Joni knowing what little bits of information to relay in order to link her 
thinking to something universal within us.  So often these days, when I see 
planes, I remember the footage of 9/11.  So it seems so TRUE to me that she 
had the tragedy of flight 800 pop into her mind when she saw the plane that 
night.
