I don't have TV, but at a resturant I was in yesterday, I saw on the news that in Jerusalem, this couple had just gotten married, and they were having a party, and the newly-weds were sitting at a table, together, embraced, and this building was two stories. Well, the building was not built very well, and with the weight of all the people, the second story floor just dropped the entire party onto the first floor. The most gruesome part of it all was that the amature camera man, standing out of harm's way, videotaped the entire thing. It was horrible to see, as most of the people were younger folks, (even some babies), and they showed the faces of the crowd as they were falling, in slow motion. Does anybody know more??? I heard that the bride and groom died instantly, still in each other's arms. That ...is hard to think about. Any of us can lose family and friends just as easily, in the worst times. I mean...ALL of thier family and friends were at this wedding reception. Damn near wiped the whole lot of them away. There were survivors...like that lucky camera guy.

Cool...then I guess it was somebody else.
Not a pleasant memory on wedding day... They were there, because of them, and died, by being there...

The bride is in hospital but not too badly hurt, the groom was not injured at all.
This is a horrible tragedy, it is just lucky that more people didn't die. ------------------  Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so. Epona of The Laughing Hyenas |

That is why it is good to live every day as if it were your last - and to let others know how much you care about them.
