We're older, colder and less connected now as a city, but that was always a reminder to me of what Calgary was and more importantly a life lost (yes, I know lives are lost everyday, but our brains are wired to give meaning to individual events and people, and that's one for me, and if you think you're different you're likely fooling yourself).

That story was a big deal.
If it happened now, people might be sad for about 10 minutes.
