Despite the assortment of vigils and ceremonies that have already taken place, the pain still lingered for many. Many wept as the names of all the crash victims were read, followed by the ominous toll of a bell. That is also what has happened through the course of every day. The Seattle-bound Alaska Airlines jet dove from the sky, crashing into the Pacific Ocean. The crash killed five crew members and 83 passengers, cutting short the lives of entire families, lifelong friends, shy children and wide-eyed babies whose time in the world was measured in mere months.
Investigators believe they all died instantly on impact.
