A First Air 737 crashed just short of the runway in Resolute, Nunavut, Canada. Although the scientists and staff who go to Devon were home, the Rocket Scientist and the NASA people he work with most probably know one or more of the victims. Resolute is a community of 200, and some of the people on board were going on to Grise Fjord, a town of 70, where, the Rocket Scientist says, he and his colleagues knew pretty much everyone in the village. My heart goes out to the families affected by this tragedy.
This is exactly the sort of thing that gives nightmares about field season.
