rssIan Shaw - A Life Less Ordinary
April 21st, 2008 · or link to (permalink)
A touching documentary about Ian Shaw, whose daughter died on the Swiss Air flight 111 from New York to Geneva in 1998. Shaw, a very successful Geneva business man, moved on his own to the site of the crash in Novia Scotia, where he bought a diner.
My wife, who is from near Geneva, had a friend who died on this flight, on his way home after a year traveling.

The friend you mention was actually coming back from 3 months of traveling. he was my cousin. we were close. seeing this documentary made me realize how deeply engraved in our memories the feeling of this tragedy still is. like a tattoo. we may not think of it every day any more but the mention of it still brings on something that i can best describe as nausea. i have not made the trip to Halifax but i think i will one day.

I interviewed Mr. Shaw in 2003 for a Canadian documentary series. I found him to be a remarkable person who dealt with loss with a rare gravity and calmness. He was also very gracious about our request for an interview about an unpleasant subject. I wished at the time that we were making a documentary of his story alone.
