Antarctic crash victims mourned

A memorial service has been held in Antarctica to honour three Canadians who died in a plane crash there last week. The three employees of Calgary-based Kenn Borek Air were killed when their Twin Otter slammed into a mountain on Tuesday. The U.S. National Science Foundation held the ceremony at its Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station. American and New Zealand searchers were able to recover the voice recorder from the plane’s tail and it’s being sent to Ottawa to be examined. But searchers have decided they cannot safely recover the bodies of the men until possibly October, when winter in Antarctica is over.
