First of all my sympathies to Aziz (Ozzie) Kheraj. who owns the South Camp Inn in Resolute, had two granddaughters on the plane. One of the girls died. Seems to be a month for plane crashes.
One of The "Red Arrows pilots crashed as well, sadly he didn't survive the crash. but he avoided
any buildings.
