Fordgalaxy Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Here's an article about it. They haven't identified who has died, but 14 of the 28 people on the bus are dead after a semi truck ran into the team bus. That's terrible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tinwoodsman Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 (edited) I have to admit, I was quite angry when I first heard of the accident late Friday evening. Being a resident of Saskatchewan, I am all too familiar with winter highway travel. We have had a long rough winter that is still holding on, yet weather did not appear to be a factor. The incident remains under investigation. Just Wednesday morning, some friends aked me to watch their house and their five pets while they traveled to Tisdale and Nipawin. I remember looking out my back window as I made a morning coffee just before the sun rose. It rose up blood red which can indicate a healthy wind. At ten a.m. they called from a Tisdale Tim Hortons to check up on their mutts. They said the highway was a bit of a white knuckler in places with alternating blowing snowy patches and sunny drier portions caused by the density of the trees and their ability to either shelter or expose the highway. They made it back after a thirteen hour round trip ... hopefully their last trip until May long weekend. I saw the post accident aerial view and having driven that highway less than two years ago, I couldn't place what contributed to that horrific scene. The Highway looked clear. Anyways, Humboldt held a heartfelt vigil tonight where many tears were shed. I'm sure this tragedy reached extensively into the cyber world and was a beautiful example of what this world can attempt to accomplish when faced with such adversity. Thanks to Boots for starting this thread and thanks to all here who contributed their condolences. Edited April 9, 2018 by Tinwoodsman 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhyta Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 This just breaks my heart for the families and the town, everyone will be touched by this tragedy. NHL players have honored the Broncos in several games and since the playoffs started, lots of people wearing green ribbons or wristbands. God bless the families as they cope with this terrible loss. :rose: 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
