It's an extremely valid point, Engine. Whereas the Boston bombing could easily be said to have been unforseeable (can't be on your guard 24/7) this one clearly was not. People knew the risks, did not warn those whose lives would be affected by an accident and as you say, money talked and bull**** walked. A clear case of profit triumphing over people. Disgraceful, in no uncertain terms. A disaster that could quite easily have been avoided if people did their jobs instead of looking the other way for a casefull of money.

BTW does anyone know if the father and daughter are okay? It would seem they are, as she was just screaming that she couldn't hear. Let's hope they got out all right. I also assume the car did not turn over, as she was screaming at her dad to just get out of here, which she would not have done if the car could not be driven.
