Thanks, I was horrified when I heard about it back in '99. But the response seemed to lack humility and a sense of responsibility. I'm not referring to the few people who were actually supposed to be in charge, I'm sure their lives were deeply changed from the event, but just aggies in general seemed to think that it was just some kind of unavoidable, horrible, accident. It wasn't just avoidable, it was inevitable.

there is truth in what Hugh said as well.

No doubt, and I actually, generally, agree with his statement, "we're afraid to take risks anymore. Parents hardly even let their kids play outside unsupervised anymore." but NOT in this context. I find it disrespectful.

The reason that liability is becoming such an issue these days is because we're losing our common sense, and that bonfire had exceeded all measures of common sense.
