we all know, life is fragile. But I guess we never thought reality'll struck so close. We're so young, so are our friends. This few days its hard not to read or listen to the news without tearing up (i admit, and crying :P). Cos its not hard to imagine if it had happened to someone closer to you... The agony of the loss.. All 5 were so young & promising. And they will be dearly missed by their families & friends.

Been reading thru msgs left on blogs dedicated to two of the victims, and among them are many msgs with content similar to 'I wish I had known you better.'

How many times have such thoughts crossed our minds b4? I guess sometimes we learn the hard way, to appreciate everyone around you. Tragedy strucks and it jolts us back to reality - life is fragile.

Condolences to the family & friends of our 5 national rowers... You must be proud to have crossed paths with these good, young men. Let's hope they find peace in the skies above, rest well...
