I think it is a tragedy that a person of the stature of Steven Spielberg, who has made such fantastic films, should have based this film on a book that is a falsehood.

He is definitely a realist and he is a very, very, very intelligent guy. He probably is head and shoulders above most politicians in that respect.

In the long run, the electorate appreciates people being honest. People will understand that this is something that has to be done, should be done and it is for the good of everyone that it is being done.

We remember those who gave their lives and lost their lives. We also remember those touched by recent tragedy.

I wish we would have started 50 years ago, but to not start now would be a real tragedy.

They were booked on that flight. It's a monumental tragedy.
