I agree that they are both sad and wasteful...However, the issue here is focus in the media, whilst each event in its own way is tragic, how can the death of a woman, who whilst she tried to seek help, did frequently refer to wanting to die like her idols, be compared to the unexpected and involuntary deaths of the kids and people in Norway?
