57/365 March 12, 2009 "Tragedy at Sea"

16 people are lost at sea tonight. A Cougar helicopter carrying 16 rig workers and 2 crew ditched in the ocean shortly after 9 am this morning. 12 hours later only one survivor has been found and one body recovered. It is the worst disaster off of our shores since the Ocean Ranger sank in the early 1980's. The entire Province is at a standstill waiting for news. We ALL know someone working on those rigs. We are all heartbroken.

I did not take this picture of our shores on the Atlantic, Matthew did. But I love it so I am usin
g it today to remember those poor people and their families. I wish them godspeed.
