They are not sure how many from the team were on board. One player and a crew member survived.

From the pics I find it amazing anyone survived.

Another, Brad McCrimmon, was a Red Wings assistant coach and NHL veteran who played for Boston, Philadelphia, Detroit, Calgary, Hartford and Phoenix.

Sad, sad day.
