I knew some of these guys... I don't go to the same school, but it still affects everyone in northern New Brunswick, it's not a big place and everybody knows everybody. I didn't believe it when my friend called me yesterday morning to tell me the Bathurst basketball team died. R.I.P.

I heard about that on the radio here in Toronto yesterday. Absolutely unbelievable/shocking that 7 team members perished (as well as a teacher). It will be a sad sad time at that school and community. My heart goes out to all the families and friends of those involved.

Not just to the community, but to the whole region. We aren't used to tragedies happening so close to home...

This was briefly reported on here. I'm so sorry...this is so sad.

I just drove by the accident site earlier and they put up a basketball net with flowers and the names of the boys in the team. It's going to be a weird day tomorrow...

The tragedy was on the front page of the paper here. The east coast has some of the most warm-hearted and generous people I've ever met. My condolences go out to everyone there.
