I’d like to give my most sincere condolences to all the family and friends of the poor souls lost Last Thursday of Cougar Helicopter Flight 491. While I did not know any of them personally, I know of friends who did know them, and this is a devistating time.
As a fellow Newfoundlander living on the mainland, I grieve with them all back home. My friends have told me the island is just so sad right now, and heartbroken.
We are a close knit people, and this hit a little too close to home. May they all Rest In Peace and may Newfoundland and its people’s broken hearts be mended.

I’m sorry, but this is sooo out of place in the LTWWB section.
