A junior hockey team from Saskatchewan got into a fatal accident where a transport crashed into their bus. 14 dead and I believe there were 15 injured with 3 in critical condition.
I wish I could write something heartfelt but all I can think is this fucking sucks and it's not fair they died so young with such promising futures. ): I can't even imagine what their families are going through right now

Tragic.

My friend was offered to play as their goalie but switched from Hockey to academia. Shit makes you think

A loss too grand for men with too many loved ones. The pain is enormous. But in that pain they find support and understanding. Rest well.

Nice of you to post this encouraging note. So tuff on they and family.

They have managed to raise 6 million for the victims and are sending out lots of councillors. It’s doesn’t bring them back but it might help

This is sad but I keep picturing that scene from Beatleguise with the football team.

Thoughts and prayers for all the families tonight... including the truck driver, his life is horrible now, and most likely forever
gamemythrone

Cranbananarama

Fucking life and death always making us confused. I never know what to feel. Just let everything channel as honestly as you can. Love always
TheRealHelmsman
Quite possibly the worst sports related tragedy ever.

Russian had a plane crash the took the entire hokey team. That does not reduce this event in anyway.

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatchewan/humboldt-broncos-team-bus-crash-cause-1.4610147 gives a bit of info about the cause
LiswanS
sounds like the cause is a mix of tractor trailer driver's negligence, and an area prone to accidents

Down here in Indianapolis we played the Canadian anthem for our brothers at the Indy Fuel game, so sad.
Alisterfiend
It did not go unnoticed and definitely not unappreciated.
JaceCameron
This happened close to my home time. Hockey is a very big deal in the area. This is unfathomably horrible.

I'm from Saskatchewan. Been crying all day. These are our kids. So devastating.

I'm from SK . I don't know anyone directly but I can't stop crying and feeling so helpless and so sad. What a devastating tragedy.

My friend from up north just told me about this. My heart goes out to your community. I'm so, so sorry.

Anyone know what age(s) junior hockey is? Were these like... high schoolers?
CairoLen
These guys were 16-21.
SerenePrincess013
They're generally between age 16 and 21, from what I remember. It's been a while since I played, tho.
ConwayTitty
One of the articles I read said the team was ages 18 to 21
AceHole5
They are usually between 16 to 19.
Toecringe
yeah they were, confirmed dead, a 16 year old, ages 15 to 21 and the coach
apathie
It has to be incredibly difficult to survive something like that so young too -- or ever, really. Rest well, guys.
manwellhung1024
So sad so young
Greymalum
They are collapsed, like a black hole. That's what it's like to lose a child, test sanity, marriage. Best wishes, hope they find peace.
EverSeeAnyonePutOnACondomWithACrowbar
This is a tragedy... not only a test for those involved, but for everyone. This could have easily been avoided. Poor kids :(
Greymalum
It does indeed suck, everyone loses.
EverSeeAnyonePutOnACondomWithACrowbar
It’s a sad state of affairs in the US post Obama. We once had hoped and dreamed... but now all we get are empty thoughts and prayers.
Greymalum
Yeah, and everyday I log on this site I see more people slamming Obama and often promoting/defending our cheeto in office. It's a disgrace.

Logan Boulet who passed today signed his donor card. So he has saved at least 6 people according to the news.
ConwayTitty
That's horrible. I hope they figure out what caused the crash. I read an article saying the transport driver had been detained then released
Nookler
From what I've read in the news here the truck is at fault. It ran through the intersection took out the front of the bus and basically
ConwayTitty
Nookler
Sliced the bus open
ConwayTitty
I hope he gets jail time or some form of punishment drunk or not

People barrel down those prairie roads.
Daggaroth
that person will go on the rest of their life knowing they ended the lives of over a dozen young individuals.
flyeaglesfly17
Vehicular manslaughter is a thing right? I’m not well verse but I agree, a punishment is necessary
YotusLotus
Why does this person need punishment? It was an accident. Don’t you think he’s also going through hell as well?
