Is it wrong?

UPS Cargo plane crashed near me... is it wrong that my first thought was to check my tracking numbers to make sure the stuff I'm expecting today was okay?

MY first thought was exactly that

"Thankfully I havent ordered anything.."

No. That is how I normally think too. Glad to see even normal people think like this too.

it is not wrong since you had thoughts of compassion as well. UPS pilots are under a lot of time pressure and not paid as well as they could be. Most transport pilots are in a similar situation. Being a transport pilot helps you get heavy-multi engine experience which helps you get a cushier job as a passenger airline pilot- but those jobs are few considering how many are chasing them. American transport companies do better with airplane maintainence but with the heavy time pressure there too, these pilots know they are likely to have some kind of problem with a plane they are assigned to more or less regularly. God help the transport pilots in more minor nations where there are less stringent regulations; those guys are taking their lives into their own hands every day.

I know someone who lives in Birmingham. After the initial shock, her thoughts went to "I hope my book orders weren't on that plane."
