Sometimes your problems pale by comparison

This is the airline we flew back from Bella Bella to Vancouver on, passing through Port Hardy on the way.

From the sound of things the plane that went down was smaller, probably on a charter run, but having seen the terrain up there, and the air strips, it certainly makes you realize how much for granted one can take flight safety on mainland commercial flights.

I'm amazed the survivors could get a cell signal. I was pretty much out of service as soon as we got out of Port Hardy's harbor.
