"Where are the pictures? God I hope that no one died from the fire, I mean I hope those who died went quickly and didn't suffer..."

This is going to be rough. I am not trying to be theatrical, but there were reports (per WTMJ radio AM 620) that people who were able to get out of their cars heard screaming from those trapped at fire scene. No way to render aid given the extent of the initial fire.

I noticed Tom Brokaw spent a full 15 minutes on the DC area sniper shooting this evening. He didn't spend that much time on 12 victims (6:00 PM CDT update) who perished in a horrid fashion here in the Midwest.

Classic East Coast/West Coast media slant and bias.

I'll try and find the relevant photo.

Thanks alot for your concern and compassion. It helps....

It looks like there are now 12 dead. The stories about family members looking for their loved ones' cars in the pileup are heart-rending. I can't imagine having to wonder if they died immediately or were trapped in the fire.

I totally agree with your post.

The liberal being bias is an understatement!

I was listening to Glenn Beck on AM 1130 this morning when they cut in and reported this.

I couldn't take anymore so I had to turn it off. It was too upsetting to listen to.

I felt the same way. The Midwest often gets the cold shoulder when it comes to getting adequate news coverage for the stories that really affect Midwesterners.

That car crash was huge and blocked what is arguably the most important interstate in Wisconsin for over 8 hours.
