Yes, it was a tragedy. I was stunned when I first heard of it. I was watching the Fox News Channel during a segment on Iraq, and out of nowhere I heard the news.
I know presently a lot of people are hurt by this tragedy and are mourning (the media makes sure of this). They have every right to and I understand. However sometimes I get the feeling that that's all they think happens in this world. It's a big world and equally herrendous things happen on this planet. It's just a shame that the media doesn't cover it because it thinks it's not important enough to cover. I know it would not be practical to cover every little piece of news that goes on on this earth, but I think more people should be aware of this.
Just my ranting.
