Has anybody every noticed how with such tragedies abroad, the media has no
issue showing pictures of the victims from the wreckage, whereas similar tragedies
at home they never would - privacy matters more than morbid curiousity?

How sad for their families and friends. I wish more would be done to prevent these
tradgedies. They are becoming common place. O000ps bus went off a cliff. These
children deserved a chance to live their life.
