The biggest tragedy is the loss of 5 lives and it is a shame that comments have to show little regard for this loss.
I fully expected a wide range of comments. For some reason the story just struck me as quite sad. That's five families that will have a hard time enjoying Christmas for a lot of years to come. The scary part is that I likely would have handled the car problem in much the same way.
Regardless of the victims my heart truly goes out to the families and friends.
re: shoe shopping together before Christmas so they all would have the same pair
At the risk of being a tad bit insensitive myself I've got to wonder how the five of them planned to wear a single pair of shoes. But that's much more a reflection on the p-poor journalism of today than the fate of these kids.
