# Shame
As far as the disaster goes, am I the only one who thinks that it gets aridiculous amount of media attention?

A terrible tragedy, sure, but no worse than many others (such as the Bradford fire) that are hardly mentioned these days, much less front page news...

20 people died in the Scottish E-coli outbreak in 1997. No one's even mentionned that. Mind you, they were mostly old-folks who probably didn't have much time left anyway.

# Didn't something similar happen recently at one of the African
World Cup qualifiers? People died when stands collapsed.

National mourning? No, they carried on with the game.....
