In respect for the missing I will give you a break, this time. But research beyond the posted arcticle can help you understand the situation in the future.

Some of the links might well not mention the gas used (since it is often Helium instead).

Many links have other specifically wrong information as well that I saw. One of the best stories I found was on the BBC.

information on what happened?

No the wrong stuff was background. One story didn't mention that his dad was on Double Eagle (both) and crossed the Atlantic (or that Rich did as well).

This has me really depressed, actually.

I can imagine, I'm sorry that it currently is just so

I hope not.

Yeah. Chances they are found (at all, much less alive) is very nearly zero.

I spent the day on a field trip with my daughter's class, and his son was there running around, playing... made me so sad.

Sad.

All I can say is that them being the adverntursome type and evidently fairly well off I hope they planned for such an event and provided for the kids.

Carol is older. Rich was just a couple years older than me. His family is very well taken care of—his dad developed our neighborhood in the foothills, as well as the Tram and Ski area here in Albuquerque (also Santa Fe). Financially, they are 100% secure. More than secure.

The Tram has a front-loader, and I always remember Rich giving rides to the kids, or using the darn thing to help neighbors move huge rocks. Really nice family, Rich will be missed.

This is very sad/tragic

I'll be thinking of his wife and kids tonight.
