    Did you miss the Toronto crash?

    I’m not sure why you asked me this in response to this comment. The Toronto crash has nothing to do with anything I said there.

    As for my previous comment in the chain, I made that comment roughly around the same time as the crash happened. So obviously I hadn’t heard of it yet.
