All the 9 bodies recovered off mountain yesterday so at least that part is over for the families.

Many times mishaps like this, “pieces” are found after funerals. Always a tough deal to discuss with the families and requires a personal family and mishap site investigator plan.

Most never think about that fortunately. But the balance of forensics, reconstructing the mishap chain and the families’ wishes and beliefs is tough.

One of the first things I thought about here and the wives, mothers, fathers, husbands, etc. It’s all tough for them. Sometimes you see funerals delayed and frequently this is why.

For example “recovered” does not equal “released.” If no person was sitting in a crew seat (access to controls) and once all passenger positions are determined, I would think “releases” for passengers should be fairly quick.

NTSB reports that there wasn't any engine failure.

Sounds like a Mad Lib that a chicken loving Chiefs fan filled out. The ____ has opened _____ themed ___ restaurants in ___.

Insanely curious how you wound up accidentally posting this response in a thread from 5 years ago.

Lol. No kidding. That being said. It's hard to believe that this was 5 years ago already. It doesn't seem like it was that long ago.

Really kicked off a shitty 2020 all around

Great.

Now I'm sad again.

With the exception of the Chiefs winning Superbowl 54 in 2020, I agree.

Mad Lib and Choose Your Own Adventure books were the craze in the 70s and 80s

And me turning 50 less than two hours later. And winning $1750 in a SB pool.

But yeah, then it sucked.

My daughter still does the Choose Your Own Adventure books on occasion.

Some of them are hilariously graphic. She had one that was like "You don't even feel the pain in your broken arm anymore as the mountain lion grabs you by the skull and drags you back to her lair..."

-- the end --

She had another one where she'd tried to run off and distract some group of natives from her injured friend and it ended with "as they run you down, you take solace in the fact that you saved your injured friend from them. It's better that you never knew that they would eventually cook her body alongside you..."

WTF?!?!

No joke. 2020 ruled.

COVID + the lockdown has really ****ed with my perception of time.
