Snowbird crash out here in the Okanagan. Very sad. Sounds like one fatality for sure.

Yep, one dead & one seriously injured. 😔

Outstanding tribute

 

 

Moving tribute today to the Snowbirds by the local First Nations in Kamloops.

We'll meet again, don't know where, don't know when

 

I didn't know there was one left. Are ANY of the Kennedy's involved in politics right now?

No big loss to the industry . Schumacher was heavily into the S&M scene in Hollywood and he very nearly succeeded in destroying the Batman franchise with his directing- his greatest accomplishment was putting nipples on the costumes.

Batman 3 was half decent.

Carl Reiner passed at 98. A full life....a life well lived. One of the funniest people of all time.

I'm embarrassed to say that was my introduction to his work. Thankfully, as an adult, I've learned about the incredible things he did in the early days of TV...

As an aside, if you haven't seen it, Jerry Seinfeld's "Comedians In Cars..." ep feat Reiner and Brooks is just fabulous.

Probably from embarrassment over the events in the US.

well this is saddening, he had been fighting the virus since spring, his leg ended up being amputated, and the last thing I had heard about him was that he would have needed a double lung transplant and he probably wouldn't perform again

Hopefully, no one who reads the facts of his suffering hopefully will ever again argue (A) that COVID is just another flu, or (B) recovery = all turned out well. I know of a local dancer who “recovered” but had her leg amputated after suffering blood clots due to her COVID illness, but did not die. Hardly the “she’s all better” that most would equate with “recovery”.
