A lot safer tomorrow I imagine.

I think the issue was the use of the word "rescued" vs "recovered" so initial thoughts were they were alive.reporters just said that, they said not to jump to conclusions that the people were aliveYes agree. Let's see if it's confirmed.Report that NBC reporting 4 people rescued so far.

Tough getting up and reading about this. What a tragedy!
Possible the visual was of another plane.Posted in other thread. Chopper acknowledged ATC to pass behind. Acknowledged visual with plane. Sounds like a very costly mistakeThis appears to show the flight paths of both aircraft:

"The U.S. Figure Skating organization confirmed that "several members" of the skating community were aboard American Airlines Flight 5342 which took off from Wichita, Kansas, and crashed approaching Reagan National Airport after colliding with a helicopter shortly before 9 p.m.
These athletes, coaches, and family members were returning home from the National Development Camp held in conjunction with the U.S. Figure Skating Championships in Wichita, Kansas," the organization said."

After the tragedy, U.S. Figure Skating started a fund to honor the victims and help young skaters in need. It's since raised over $20 million.

Got 4 or 5" out here in Woodstock, but that's on the grass, vehicles, decks. My driveway only got an inch or two. And you're right - that snow is wet.

We seem to have 8-10” here in PWC. Also glad I shoveled twice last night. Had about an inch this morning.

So are we going to get dumped on again this week? I’ve only lived in the region for five years but this is by far my least favorite winter if we get another storm this week!!

This was a great question seven years ago just before they won their first cup. At the time, I mentioned Sammy Baugh and Walter Johnson as other contenders. I'm a fan of taking history into account in sports and not over-doing recency bias, so I think their names are still worth mentioning, but Ovi has this locked up IMO. Just imagine if he adds another cup.

I'm not a big hockey guy, but I don't think it's even close between #1 and whoever at #2 (I'd have Wes Unseld there). The old joke used to be that there were only 20,000 Caps fans around D.C. and all of them had season tickets. That's not the case anymore because of Ovechkin. There are local college students who never knew a time when that guy wasn't great.

I was going to mention Walter Johnson. MUTIPLE triple crowns (in a row I think?).
Sammy for sure.
I would also add your namesake. Darrell Green. 20 year career, two rings. The only guy who’s close to speed is Deion and possibly Bo.
