Thing is, we are the other people. I sat with my aunt and sobbed and asked, "Why me?" She responded, "Why not you?". <BR/><BR/>I pray that God's peace carries these families through this time and that people all around them will reach out in love and support, easing the burden for months to come.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-10501840788181094482009-02-13T20:17:00.000-05:002009-02-13T20:17:00.000-05:00Ok this will be rather nerdy, but the first time i...Ok this will be rather nerdy, but the first time i flew a Dash 8 was about 20 years ago out of the Toronto Island Airport. Was heading to Ottawa. And I decided that some cool music would be the last track of side 2 and the first track of side 1 of the soundtrack to Top Gun. Essentially taxiing and catapult music. I cued up my brick sized Sony Walkman tape player so it would play it just right. and in a short take off and high climb angle plane like a Dash 8, it was quite cool to think you were on the deck of a carrier. Especially when moments later you were over water and banking away from the city over Lake Ontario. Great little planes.Mike Woodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14226759908852992699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-7198336881473278162009-02-13T19:43:00.000-05:002009-02-13T19:43:00.000-05:00What's astonishing about this story is that given ...What's astonishing about this story is that given the configuration of the neighborhood where the plane went down that more people on the ground weren't killed or injured. That will be cold comfort at best to those who lost loved ones in the crash, but it <I>is</I> something to be thankful for.<BR/><BR/>It's hard to imagine icing happening as suddenly as this must have (if indeed that was the cause of the crash). Seems like even rime icing would have taken time to build to a point where it would bring the aircraft down, and the crew would surely have noticed that something was amiss. But based on what I heard, they were here one moment and gone the next.<BR/><BR/>Once again we're faced with the unassailable truth that we can't afford to wait to let those we care about know we care about them. Because the opportunity may be taken away by the capriciousness of the universe at any random time. I re-learn that lesson every time something like this happens. Because one day, it will be my turn. Either to be one of the ones lost, or one of the ones losing.Mojohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03498213932233245032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-89468443920088197752009-02-13T19:03:00.000-05:002009-02-13T19:03:00.000-05:00I've never been a fan of the -8 but hubby spent ye...I've never been a fan of the -8 but hubby spent years working on them in Wpg before he moved to TacHel and the Griffons. He's crawled in and around the belly of those beasts many times.<BR/><BR/>My heart goes out to those whose lives have been forever altered by this accident.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
