Re: Poor Souls
I do hope someone will look in to solving any future problems that may occur.
The loss of lives alone needs to be given much thought.
Thoughts are with family and friends of all lost.

Re: Poor Souls
Sadly Vernon it has happened again, not the first time those who come to help have gone this way.
All we can do is give thanks for their efforts and offer some comfort to their families.
Happy daze John in Oz.
Life is too short to blend in.

Re: Poor Souls
The company owning the plane and contracting services to Oz. is Canadian, and the crew flying it were U.S. residents, like all victims of this tragedy unfurling, may they rest in peace.
