I'm trying to be charitable


Resolute jet crash survivor shares her story

This is a horrible tragedy, and a miracle that even this small number of people survived. The one young woman who survived is very well-spoken and articulate. I guess what I'm struggling with is the media again. Having to impose on someone who has just gone through a horrific event in order to get their 'story'. What kind of story can they have? I listened to it on CBC while I was driving to work yesterday. It happened so quickly and they were found so quickly that there wasn't much to tell, and none of the three survivors can shed and light on the cause of the crash or anything else. Just more 'catastrophe media' as I've started calling it. And CBC is getting to be as bad as any of them.

Keep all those affected by this crash in your prayers, though, if you will. Such a terrible, terrible tragedy...
