It's nice to know that I'm not the only one that feels this way. I mean, it's completely tragic what happened, mostly because there was no warning whatsoever, and I'm not trying to downplay the gravity of the situation, but there are definitely more important things going on in the world for this one incident to keep dominating the media. For goodness sake, more people just died of car accidents, heart disease and cancer in the time it's taken you to read this thread! What about what's going on in Iraq and Afghanistan right now? The official death toll for US troops is 3664 as of today. I can almost guarantee you that there have been more soldiers killed in action since the bridge collapsed than there are official casualties
of the bridge collapse. Yet I haven't heard a word about that in the past few days.
*shrug* I guess I'd just rather see news on the news, not the same story recycled a million different ways over and over again.
