Re: [TV orNotTV] hockey - humboldt
Another tidbit I saw on twitter. At one of the Canadian airports on the weekend a flight was overbooked (as often occurrs) and they announced that a few people needed to get to Humboldt due to the tragedy. The desk INSTANTLY had a lineup of volunteers to give up their seats. On Mon, Apr 9, 2018 at 8:15 PM Doug Eastick wrote: > thanks for mentioning We Are Marshall.

Re: [TV orNotTV] hockey - humboldt
thanks for mentioning We Are Marshall. I have yet to see that movie, but appreciate the correlation to this week's events. I will admit, that during the vigil it was remarkably sad. I'm not a (very? faintly?) religious person, but I appreciated how they included many faiths including aboriginal.

But we may not >have a really good approximation... Another (imperfect) parallel could be minor-league baseball. While my brother and his ballpark friends don’t billet the upper-teens and 20-somethings who make up the roster of our hometown West Virginia Power (low-A Pirates), they do provide the players with local acclimatization and road-trip snacks. (Also, I would be remiss if I didn’t mention “We Are Marshall,” a movie which plays out the aftermath of the 1970 plane crash here in WV which killed 75 football players, coaching staff, and boosters.) _ _ |_>|_> Brad Beam- Belle WV |_>|_> http://www.facebook.com/74bmw -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.

Re: [TV orNotTV] hockey - humboldt
Thanks for posting that here Doug; I have been following it all weekend, and it has been heartbreaking. The loss of the young people is horrific of course; the way Canadians are responding is even more heart rending. There is a mournful undertone of how could something they love so much be in any way associated with taking away their children. HS football probably is close, especially if you live in Texas. But we may not have a really good approximation... On Mon, Apr 9, 2018 at 3:00 PM Doug Eastick wrote: > Unsure how much coverage this has received in the USA, but thought I'd > pass it along.
