Very sad.

2. That's the most dangerous segment

Aside from takeoff.

5. I actually know that (I flew years ago), but the takeoff went

well, the journey went well, now we just have to get this back on the ground and we're golden. Like that.

3. Thank god there was so much military nearby. Resolute Bay is 2000 miles north of Montreal.

4. I was thinking that as I read the article. I wonder how the

survivors would have fared had the military not stopped what they were doing to assist.

7. Yup. Those lucky 3 people are doubly lucky. They say the Resolute Bay

community is 200 strong so I would imagine everyone in that town will have lost someone close to them. very sad.

6. How sad and yet a miracle

Three survivors including a child. I hope they are doing well.
