Coach Crash

Horrible. As with that Johannesburg tragedy. 12 dead there but not on your radar. Why's that?

Was that recent?

Any child deaths are awful. I'm still astonished and horrified when impoverished, poorly educated folk, run towards overturned leaking petrol tankers with cans and buckets, when they should be running away.
 
Months ago? News gets old in a week, Mottie. WTF are you droning on about. :confused:
Oh, sorry, I missed your post about it. You did post up your concerns for those poor Africans from the township didn’t you?

It's a bit confusing. Maybe Mottie thought you were making a political point, rather than simply showing compassion. Crossed wires.

And to clarify, I never thought you were being anything other than compassionate.
I'm not sure you should be speaking for me or Mottie.

I saw the recent Texas thing as well as that bus crash as something I and others with children can relate to. Send your sprogs off to a summer camp and never see them again? I can only shudder at the thought.

I don't know why Mottie dredged up a story from March, no. There have been two maybe three African/Asian petrol tanker tragedies so far this year and all those stories I find tragic and horrific. The local police even try to make them come away, but they are not interested.

Desperate.

I could see this turning into an extremely unedifying fight over dead children. Simply because the two of you had got your wires crossed. So I thought I would be a good forum member and point out those crossed wires, so that it got nipped in the bud before it turned really nasty.
