We’re all fired up about one person in a plane crash.
But we’re killing hundreds of babies more than that every day, and there are nearly 60,000 alcohol-related traffic deaths every year.
Some things we just seem not to notice.
People are funny, in a not-so-funny way.
It is strange that people only seem to notice deaths if they occur more than one at a time.
Question...what kind of God would allow that to happen?
In 2010, there were essentially 11,000 alcohol-related traffic deaths, not 60K. In fact, this number has been declining quite precipitously, and the fatality rate (deaths per mile driven) is at an all time low.
I don't want to take away from your otherwise very salient point.
In my opinion, this air-race tragedy is garnering more attention due to it's “youtubiness” (People caught it on video).
