llauma 0 Posted February 1, 2003 The space shuttle accident get all the media coverage while at least 40 dead africans do not get hardly any at all. This is not an anti-american post, just a reminder that all lives are worth as much. No matter nationality. Those astronauts knew the risks with their jobs. The passangers of the train were propably just on their way home to their families. http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/africa/02/01/zimbabwe.train/index.html Please, take your time and read about it.

bn880 5 Posted February 1, 2003 Awfull... to be living like that and still have some of the worst disasters hit you. I can't believe the suffering that goes on in Africa and other poor nations (lol, continent-nation) around the world. Suffering is universal, but it seems to hit the poor more often.

KingBeast 0 Posted February 1, 2003 Not a great day really for anyone We have quite a few train de-railments and such here in Britain, so I can understand how upsetting it can be for the families of the victims. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wilco 944 Posted February 1, 2003 Jesus, today is for some reason cursed, 40 people, 7, Man today is going to be a rough day for many people. My prayers go out to all of the tragic events that have shaped history to this date. P.S. I still get nightmares from the WTC towers, that killed me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brgnorway 0 Posted February 1, 2003 Yes truly sad, but I won't lose my sleep over it. Fact is, this happends almost every day and mostly we don't care that much. I believe we are becoming blasÄ about it - and that's truly sad too! Maybe incidents like this doesn't appear to be as "spectacular" as the space shuttle accident and therefore doesn't get the proper mediacovering and reactions from us - the public.

How about you quit your fucking whining? The sad truth is, accidents like that happen often, and it is very unfortunate. I bet the train accident is getting more coverage in Africa than the Space shuttle accident. It all depends on your locality. Use some common sense. A space shuttle leaves a smoke trail for hundreds of miles over the U.S., scattering debris everywhere and you expect a train accident that happened half a world away to get more coverage in the U.S.? Anyways, my prayers go out to those survivors in the hospital and the families of the victims. Tyler Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

foxer 0 Posted February 2, 2003 It's not the people that died.It's what happen,you don't see this stuff everyday.Heck a train crash here happens all the time in america(probably 2 every year),it's only on the news for a day, a week if high kill count.Just like when that russia sub sunk.It was on news for months.If an afirca country creates something big,and never seen before and it crashes you will see it on the news.
