We all know - or I suppose we do - about the planes being grounded after 9/11. But I never really thought any more of that than planes being parked at airports.
Only after I'd moved to Moncton did I begin to read about planes being diverted and quickly grounded wherever they could land.
"Little" Moncton was one of many places handling loads of planes and their passengers and there are many 'human interest' tales as a result - including anniversary memories and reunions.

It's now the anniversary of the Titanic sinking with the loss of over 1500 lives. Today I was reading how Halifax, Nova Scotia handled all the bodies recovered (at a Curling rink) and that undertakers from all over Atlantic Canada (again, including Moncton) went to help, not just preparing all the bodies but helping with identification processes too.
Never once have I thought about that sort of thing and how it's dealt with. I mean, I've seen TV clips of bodies laid out in big halls but you just don't think about who deals with these things. Or do you?

I heard tell Arnold Schwarzenegger used to work in the morgue reconstructing corpses. He was a body builder.
