Unfortunately it’s not under pleasant circumstances, but Princes Charles and Camilla made their way to Aberdeen today. There was a memorial service held at St Nicholas Kirk for the 16 men who died in the helicopter accident on the North Sea on 1 April. I was home in Canada when it happened, and there was a ‘copter crash off of the coast of Nova Scotia at about the same time (with only one survivor).

Not only waging war on the Earth, it appears that the price of oil costs human lives as well. Read the stories of their lives as highlighted above; these were ordinary guys just trying to make a good living. Sad doesn’t even begin to cover it.
