There is a special poignancy in the death of people whose lives have barely begun, and Flight 800's dead included at least 47 passengers under age 21. (Pictures were available of the 37 shown here.) Typical were Ludovic Chanson, 12, wearing a favorite Chicago Bulls shirt for the return trip to his tiny French hometown, and Courtney Johns, 18, a high school tennis star, off to visit a French friend. The world searched for meaning in their tragedy and found none. "This is not God's fault," said the pastor who eulogized Johns. "God weeps."
