I'm out in the train. I left this morning. At the same time hubby was leaving to spend the weekend in Reno, Nevada for the Reno Air Races.
He's been planning it since this time last year. A group of them went. About 20 guys. Some yesterday, some today.
Today, there was an accident. Today a pilot crashed into the stands. The pilot was killed, and reports right now about injuries and fatalities are confusing.
We have sporadic cell phone service on the train. I arrived into Kamloops to my phone buzzing insanely. Text messages, emails, voicemails, Facebook messages etc. I've spent the evening trying to make sure everyone we know was safe.
They are. I won't say they are unaffected, a friend was in the stand, he was uninjured but did see others injured and loss of life caused by the debris.
To everyone who tried to contact hubby or myself, thank you. We appreciate your thoughts and concerns. We are grateful that all our friends are safe. The air-races have been cancelled for the weekend.
To the family and friends of the pilot, the organizers, the injured and those who lost their lives we send our thoughts and prayers.
