Our thoughts are with the families of those lost in this terrible accident. We owe it to their memory to seek answers to how this could have happened, to prevent accidents like this from happening in the future.

Thinking of the words of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. today:
"A man dies when he refuses to stand up for that which is right. A man dies when he refuses to stand up for justice. A man dies when he refuses to take a stand for that which is true.”

May we all live in just times. #MLK
