Along the same lines; 7 school-kids on a ski outing

killed by an avalanche in the Canadian rockies the same

continuous coverage of the Columbia relegating the
avalanche victims to regular news coverage.
I heard about the Avalanche, but I didn't think all the kids died.
Unless, maybe the total number of kids was more than seven. I didn't
really pay much attention, since it was someone else's local news, and I
was interested in hearing about national news..... the Columbia.
