As a native of the NW, let me know if I can do anything.

Thanks, I feel that if people can live in wrecked cars upside down in ravines for 7 days. There is still hope and everyone should be sending out that positive vibe until we know for sure.

Do I understand correctly that as of 7:45 am EST that there were only 7 people found? That means that 3 are still out there and their condition is unknown. If this is so we should all pray for them to be found quickly.

I like how you think, I'm with you.

I got the feeling they weren't sure how many people were on the plane (initial reports said 8-10) ... so I'm hoping there were only 7 and no one is left out there.

Sad day...

I'm really sorry and sad about what happened.
as I was reading all the news, I saw that they still haven't found the other 3 people...I will keep my hopes up. as usual!
peace for all friends and families.

My condolences to the NW skydiving community. This is tragic.

Still hoping for 3 survivors to be found.

Blue skies, fly free to everyone who did not survive.

Leave it to the media to report "10 skydivers on board, 7 bodies found, all feared dead."

Heellloooooo. Would anyone here ever consider jumping from a perfectly *good* airplane?

You'd figure that even the media might sort out the notion that the missing skydivers might have jumped.

Does anyone know if there was a flight plan on file and are they sure of the number of people on board?

My heart goes out to the friends and family of those who were on board. What a sad day it is.

I don't think they where geared up, It sounds like they were just traveling in the plane. But maybe they had time to get out, we can only hope.
Prayers and good vibes from all us here in Wisconsin.
It has been a hard year.

In all the conversations I've been a part of, the number on board (10) has not been in question - among the Northwest skydiving community there's been a very careful accounting of missing persons in the time since the plane was scheduled to take off. I suppose there's a remote possibility that one of those expected to be on the plane didn't board in Idaho, but I don't think anyone's really considering that, as much as anyone wishes that was a possibility.

This is all too awful. My heart goes out to the families and friends of those involved.

Be patient with the faults of others; they have to be patient with yours.

I guess my next question would be are they sure 10 people rode the plane to the boogie? I hope there has been an accurate accounting of the people on board so they are not searching for people who are not there.

You never know, and we can still hope. Even though they haven't found the tail section yet. Maybe 3 people made it out. I rode a Caravan between 2 DZ's for a boogie once and all 5 of us on the plane wore our rigs the whole time. Just in case. It's weird & uncomfortable to be on a jump plane with no rig on. This is just speculation, of course. But if it was me, I'd have been wearing my rig, especially if the weather was questionable.

Still can't believe this is really happening... ...I grieve SO much for everyone's family and friends. I'm going up to the DZ later today, cuz I just need to be there - I've only been doing this for 6 months and I already feel like everybody is family... ...God grant them all peace.

yes ,it's really sad.
it really doesn't matter how long you've been doing this... but the respect and consideration that you have for those who love the same thing you do...to skydive.
even not knowing everybody, we're all a big family.
like someone said in one of the interviews, we speak a different language that not everybody does.
my prayers for all families and friends.
blue skies.
