Alaska bad news.
Thanks, JJ....not good at all. Prayers for the families.
I haven’t figured out why events like the crash of a scheduled regional airliner in Alaska or the mass murder of six people in Oregon end up in “chat” together with computer news and pit bull attacks. Seems like they are more newsworthy than some other things I read in the News forum.

I was wanting to know where the plain was going and what state the passengers are from since we have so many locals here that go up there.
Thanks for the update.
Good strong family celebrating their Russian Christmas.
