As a child, I actually thought that hell probably had few souls. My innocent mind thought, “People won’t do bad things and end up in hell for an eternity”. Of course, I now think that hell must be bursting at the seams. Reading a story like this.. so sad, so tragic... only confirms those beliefs.

There are only two choices, heaven or hell. By far, most will have chosen wrong.

Matthew 7:13
Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.

I read your post that included a comment that Hell must be ‘bursting at the seams’ and it triggered a verse that came to my mind that said “ Hell hath enlarged is borders” (King James Version).
This insight into the characteristics of Hell is provided in Isaiah 5:14: “Therefore Sheol has enlarged its appetite and opened its mouth beyond measure, and the nobility of Jerusalem and her multitude will go down, her revelers and he who exults in her.”

Ralph Martin's Will Many Be Saved? is a weighty new book that attempts to examine that question in great depth and detail. The evidence he marshalls from theologians across the centuries is that Hell is a far more real possibility than what has been taught in the 2nd part of the 20th century.
