Daniel .. Toronto, CANADA

breaking news,CNN,twitter,trending,iphone.

Lived all my life in Toronto and love it, but that doesn't stop me from complaining.

Toronto is almost 3 million people but within an hours drive of the city there are probably 10 million. Toronto is Canada's biggest city and within the Toronto area we probably have half of the Canadian population.
Toronto is North America's fifth largest city.

The Olympic torch run came through our city recently and I got of few pictures of the event. The torch run is going across Canada from east to west 45,000 miles and will be there in February 2010 in Vancouver for the Olympics.

By the way all of my pictures are available (without the watermark "DMB") and can be ordered by contacting me. They are all high resolution photos (Nikon D200) and can be enlarged to any size you wish, just contact me.
You can just leave me at comment at the bottom of any page in the "ask me anything box" and I will get back to you as soon as possible.

This is the young man from Republic of Georgia that died on the first day of the Vancouver Olympics 2010 when he dies on the luge track when he was thrown in the steel beams that were unprotected with any kind of foam protection. The IOC say that the track is safe but them why did they modify the rack with a wall being added to the track and extra padding added to “some” of the steel beams?

UPDATE - Feb 20/2010

I was watching the small track speed skating tonight and they said the side of the arena is covered with protective padding about one to two feet thick which moves if an athlete falls and runs into it. But no padding/protection on the luge track and the skaters are not going at 140 km/h.

The IOC is still saying the luge track is safe, but if it is safe why did they modify the track with an extra barrier and some padding on “some” of the steel beams?
