Thank you for posting this lovely, thoughtful tribute. The image of Laurence on the Sports Illustrated cover among the wreckage was particularly poignant. Heartbreaking loss, but the documentary "Rise" emphasizes that their dreams have lived on. God bless them all, and their families.

I feel horrible for all those people who died on that plane.

[syntaur]

@EZR09 Yeah one of those moments in time... After I received your response... I watched another YouTube about a 50th Anniversary they held last February attended by the friends and family members of the members of the United States Figure Skating team lost in the crash... All 50 years older then they were in 1961

My father was on this plane - Danny Ryan. Thank you for honoring the memory of those who were representing our country in their own way. He had also served in the US Army.

It doesn't matter how many times you repeat that same stupid thing, typing it out like the brainwashed robot you are.

The truth of the matter is, there is no God--and no "kingdom." And every day is proof of that (to those of us who have a brain; not living clinging to false fairy tales about 900-year-old people having babies and magic hippies walking on water and floating up into the air promising to come back somem day.)

It's all bull. And that's a fact.

@krunchtar Very sorry even to this day for your loss. I heard about this only a year ago and think about them from time to time. It still makes me pause and think about what would have been had this never taken place. They deserved long lives, but they are remembered.

@jmen4ever Dean McMinn was holding the sign in front of Laurence.

@zackyko That "Kingdom" is a speculation. I wish such as you would cease pretending it is a proven fact, doing which is dishonest.
