Thanks George, I was'nt aware of this. Plenty unkind comments for a tragedy.
Plenty unkind comments for a tragedy.
People can be so callused. Our society is so used to hearing tragedy in the news that we seem to be desensitized to it.
Though I think they are far from the truth, I still wouldn't make the comments found in yahoo comments. Wow, it's people that died not animals. What's this world coming to?!!

I hadn't read the comments until after you called them to our attention. Many were indeed unkind. I did, however, see one that gave me a chuckle: "My bad, I was aiming for Hawaii."
Dal it is sad that so many people in this world care more for animals than people.
Very true, but perhaps some of it is false bravado to cover the poster's own dread of death. Soon after the loss of USS Thresher, I was part of the commissioning crew of the next submarine built at that same shipyard—even launched from the same building ways. I remember we had much gallows humor and even crude remarks about death. Much of that was the same false bravado I mentioned earlier. (There was a bit of apprehension during that first dive [8-|]).
We need to pray for the survivors—and for those with the heartless remarks.
