I'm not gonna pretend I know who any of the names mentioned by ACF are, even if more avid NHL fans supposedly should know, but yea, this story's sad and quite chilling. Like, I remember when players for I believe the Oklahoma State basketball team were killed in a plane crash. It's easy to take for granted that these teams (especially professional ones) are going on planes where something might go wrong, even though they're supposedly first class and everything.
Yea, my condolences to the families of all the victims, and prayers that the remaining survivors pull through.
