Saint James tells Oprah of grief

Actress Susan Saint James told Oprah Winfrey that she cannot bear to even touch the clothes of her son Teddy Ebersol after a 2004 Colorado plane crash killed the 14-year old and two others.

Here’s the bad part

Saint James, husband and NBC Sports Chairman Dick Ebersol, and their two surviving sons appeared on “The Oprah Winfrey Show” for their first interview as a family since the crash.

Teddy Ebersol was aboard a chartered Canadair CL-601 Challenger jet with his father and older brother, Charlie, on Nov. 28, 2004, when it crashed during takeoff in light snow and freezing temperatures from the airport near Montrose, Colo. Pilot Luis Alberto Polanco, 50, and flight attendant Warren Richardson III, 36, also were killed.

The National Transportation Safety Board has not determined the cause of the crash. The agency is considering mechanical problems and the condition of the pilots as well as weather conditions.
