1. I didn't see it but one thread showed a 52 year old casualty.
He probably was a grandpa. Not that any one is worse than others but the whole thing is a unconscionable debacle.
:mad:

2. Yes, so tragic.
I think Lehrer's show is the only one that shows pictures of the dead. It somehow makes the loss so much more personal - I guess that's why you don't see their faces on MSM.

4. I can't bear to look anymore
when they run those pictures at the end of the show. Young lives snuffed out before they even begin. Bravo to Lehrer for doing it though.
