" all caused by night or bad weather"
I beg to differ. I believe night and bad weather were/are FACTORS in so many of these sad and sorry occurrences. ( Maybe not these two)
In my own personal experience the wisdom and the courage to say NO has been the biggest single factor in my situations that I would not like to repeat.
Condolences to the the loved ones of those lost, especially at this time of year.
Happy New Year to you all and may God grant you the wisdom to make the right decisions and the intestinal fortitude to live with the consequences.
