this is not a subject for satire.

I rather think that anyone who who lost a son that night would not think so - ever.

and we all lost sons that night - they were ours.

this is throwing fuel on the fire - for what? a chance for some attention - to show cleverness?

You are absolutely right...and it’s not even that clever.

Jonathan Swift received much of the same criticism for his satire...and it wasn’t because he chose noncontroversial, amusing subject matter. The pointed criticism in this piece is directed at the dithering incompetence and political considerations that cost the four lives. It should be roundly criticized, mocked, assailed and attacked in every way. IMHO, not doing so would be a disservice to those who died.
