Dunno where *you're* coming from, but in uk.misc we have a, err, "robust" approach to the news. -- "Checking identity papers is a complete waste of time.

Blimey you would think these people had never seen a heavy rain shower before!! A waste of the license payers money. Some poor bloke drowning in front of a bunch of helpless firefighters because he had his foot trapped in a gate is pretty serious stuff. Isn;t it? ITYM "grate" No, he got his foot caught in a wrought iron gate. Oops, my mistake - first news reports I heard yesterday was "grate" and I hadn't re-read since. Sorry. |

Why assume that it'll be the foot which comes off? Knee? Leg? Arm? Either of those coming off and resulting in him having significant bleeding, whilst in a sewer/drain, is also going be a significant risk to life. It's not exactly a sterile area. Add to that the fact that he may have been weak at the time. Basically, we have no idea what really happened, the decisions that were made by the medical and rescue staff, the amount of access (both to the patient, and the immediate area around). If you don't want to discuss current affairs within the limits of available information, can I suggest that usenet perhaps isn't the right place for you? My point is that I trust that the emergency services would have done everything that they could to save the person, and that we're in possession of little of the facts.

If debate was stifled in every case where there was a victim or relative, then we'd have nothing left to discuss except bus timetables. |
