A huge pile of flowers continues to grow at the cenotaph in Wainwright after four soldiers were killed in a weekend training exercise gone fatally wrong. Strong and sudden winds sent flames from a nearby grass fire across the Prairie landscape at lightning speed, stopping soldiers in their tracks and sending 39 to hospital, 19 critically. Six have since been discharged, says the defence minister.

Calgary police say three people were killed and several were injured in a fiery crash Thursday on a busy north-end street that left two city transit buses on fire. Police Staff Sgt. Andy Woodward said it appears to have begun after a transit bus slammed into a car that then hit other vehicles. The bus then bounced off that crash, hit a second bus that hit three more vehicles.
