The Wright Brothers Curse

It was genius when the Wright Brothers invented the airplane.
But sadly their invention has brought about a lot of pain.
Many people have died in plane crashes over the years.
Planes are great but the casualties bring a lot of tears.
If the airplane hadn't been invented, Pearl Harbor and 9/11 wouldn't have taken place.
Many thousands of people have been killed who can never be replaced.
People love planes and jets until they see a loved one being put in a hearse.
The Wright Brothers were brilliant but sadly they brought about a curse.
