I just cannot imagine ANYBODY not feeling for the families. Everyone is saddened by such an event, especially when 2 young lives are lost in the process.
Because it is a cold and callous world. Millions die every day from war, starvation and murder. If we 'felt' for every person that died we would end up suicidal. Death is death and as hard as it sounds I am neutral on the subject. I certainly don't believe in giving false sentiments about people I have never met.

However the endless pissing contests that ensue on here every time someone cops it are a bit crass. Examining an accident and speculating is a good way of making us think and perhaps avoid a repeat. The experts who assure is the flight was 'impossible' etc should try and open there minds a little. A recent example on another thread is a case in point. Conditions that many of us would have been flying (and I was flying in) might not be suitable for others. So an open mind is needed.
