Totally at a loss for words, because what good are words at a time like this? Thoughts are with you all.

Terrible. Heart goes out to the family and friends affected by this.
Take, a second and be thankful for what you have now.

Sincere condolences to families/co-workers during this very difficult time, to say the least. Did spend some time in YZF on occasion and always enjoyed my time there. Good people and a good part of the country.

I'm speechless,
I never thought that a accident would hit this close to home for me, I grew up with TJ in Northern Ontario. Stand up guy
RIP ole buddy.

no oil engine pressure returns the blades to feather. Sad day indeed...ALF wrote:Sympathy to all involved. Speedy recovery to those injured.
Is it just me or are those props both in feather?

Re: Float Plane Crash Yellowknife - Float Docks
Does anyone know if they had touch down or made contact with the water and were in an overshoot. I heard one interview that eluded to this.
My initial perception was that they were "on final" when they encountered problems.

To those closely involved.
Go be with your family and friends, don't turn on the TV, the computer or the radio. Most of what you see or hear for the next little while will be BS and It will only upset you.
So sorry for your loss.

Rest in peace.
If it doesn't feel right, it probably isn't.
An extra 10 minutes in the circuit or a go-around is a small price to pay to make sure things are going your way.
have a coffee, take a breather and try it again.
Lets be careful out there people.

Crew names were released by the press a few days ago.
Re: Float Plane Crash Yellowknife - Float Docks
Any word on memorials? I know they had one last Sun but it wasn't really advertised, or not that I noticed anyway. There's nothing more I would like to do now than show support so I'm hoping there's another planned.
Again heartfelt condolences to all those affected.

It is so sad to read this news, and I have been trying to figure out what to say since it happened.
I'm no closer to knowing what the right words are, so, will just say how very sorry I am for the families, friends and coworkers of those killed. It is a heartbreak that doesn't go away, but you have sympathies extending far and wide.
So very sorry for your loss.
