Re: Very Tragic Accident

I read a much shorter piece about this in our morning paper.  All workplace accidents are preventable and tragic.  My heart goes out to this young man's kin and also to the other members of the work crew who must bear some of the blame.

You can bet that all the more experienced guys were standing well back because they know the risks.  However, young men are often thoughtlessly reckless and overly anxious to prove themselves.

Re: Very Tragic Accident

How tragic, inexperience and a moment's thoughtlessness and young life is ended. My usual ending to a message is particularly apt.

Take care.

Re: Very Tragic Accident

KAP54, I read your message about the accendent, and my heart goes out to the boys family.
Off course these type of accedents are always likely to happen, to those that deserve it the least. Verry, verry, sad.

Just one thing I would like to bring up, I followed the link you posted and at first all I got was a message from Yahooo Canada, the I clicked of and got the page about the accedent, then when I tried to get more imformation I was derectied back to Yahooo, this was Yhaooo Canada, I don't think this is the sort of news slot to be using to get Yhooo comstomers.
No offence ment to you.

Luck to all. !!!
