Today marks the fifth anniversary of the crash of Swissair Flight 111. The plane crashed near Peggy’s cove, killing all 229 passengers.
This year’s anniversary kicked off at 11:00am, but apparantly most families of the passengers wish to end this yearly ceremony:
“I always encourage family members . . . to come to Nova Scotia outside the anniversary date anyway. I think it’s not healthy to have an accumulation of human energy concentrated on a negative date.”
