GRANDEUR OF THE CANYON & THE COLORADO RIVER
DEATH IN A CANYON ~ It is
ESPECIALLY sad when people die on
A HOLIDAY ~ I have visited
THE GRAND CANYON by
HELICOPTER ~ unforgettable experience
I APPRECIATED the uniqueness an
NEOLITHIC Glory of the Canyon
A HOLIDAY of a lifetime ! The GRAND
CANYON is a Geological Masterpiece
ARIZONA is a very exciting US State
NOT to be missed on your USA visit ~ But
YOU don't except to be faced with DEATH
Our PRAYERS are with the Families and .....
NEIGHBOURS of the three Young People from the UK
Thanks for visiting ~ comments welcome ~ BRIAN
In the UK we are very sad that three of our YOUNG
PEOPLE have died on Holiday in the Grand Canyon
in Arizona USA. It is spectacular and a Helicopter
trip is the best way to appreciate its WONDER. I was
intending to publish a POEM on the HAVASUPAI
Native Americans who live in the CANYON. See my
picture yesterday of the HAVASU FALLS which is
inside the CANYON. Because of the fatal crash I will
post the HAVASUPAI POEM next week. BRIAN XOXOX

This is so, so sad! May they Rest In Peace!
GRAZIE LAURA ~ Very sad indeed ~ REQUIEM in PACE ~ Abbracci ~ BRIAN @@@@@@@
Such a sad thing to happen in such a wonderful place.
Thanks ANDY ~ very very sad ! From experience a Helicopter Trip is the only way to fully appreciate it ~ but it is always hazardous. Last time it happened the 'copters were grounded Yours sadly BRIAN
Thoughtful write Brian.
Meanwhile - I should go there to sing - it wouldn't torture anyone! or would it echo? lol.
Thanks ANDY ~ We have sung in the Canyon and the echo go on forever ~ so be warned ! Please you found the sentiment in the POEM ~ BRIAN
You blaming Andy (Goldfinch) for my singing?! lol
SORRY STEVE ~ I still keep getting you two mixed up like two pods in a pea ~ MEA CULPA ~ BRIAN the Bemused !
Dreadful news and a great tribute Brian.
THANKS MIKE ~ Poetic tributes are always a challenge ~ I trust I got this one right ~ Yours BRIAN
They will always be young and beautiful. The last place they saw was took their breath away. They will never die in bed of cancer. Their dreams had never disappeared. People will always love them.
There is some truth in ~ "Only the favoured die Young !" Some have to suffer old age to maintain the statistics ~ Think of Elvis ~ John Lrennon ~ Michael Jackson ~ Patsy Cline ~ Jim Reeves etc ~ Not a single BUM NOTE between them and forever "40" Thanks for your comment ~ it brought me some solace ~ Yours BRIAN
Such sad news, thanks for posting and sharing. Great tribute to them. Hugs in the spirit--Christina
THANKS CHRISTINA ~ I tried to be serious in my comment. The other THREE (which includes a newly wedded couple) are critical in the VEGAS HOSPITAL ~ They need our prayers. I love the GC and thses incidents do cast a shadow over her. Hundreds (some suicides) have died in the CANYON over the Years. It is all very very sad . I guess the 'Copter Flights will be suspended for a while ~ the IMAX is good but not the same ! Hugs for Solace ~ Brother BRIAN I attended a Funeral late this afternoon (4pm) but GWEN was 90 ! 30 is much too Young and two were Brothers ~ Pray for their Parents @@@@@@@
I know you were serious, I didn't mean anything otherwise. They are in my prayers!
A caring and thoughtful write on the tragic loss of three young men in that hazardously beautiful canyon.
All accidents are tragic, but I think Holiday accidents are even worse. You leave to have a good time, and then....
Well written, Brian.
