Nasty business .

[Steve Bullman]

crikey thats a bit harsh

[skyhuck]

Awful business, but in some countries life is cheap or its seen as the will of some god or other, so will anything actually change? will any measures be put in place to try and prevent a repeat? I have no idea?

[Khriss]

Looking at the shots, it seems a floating whole tree swept down river and then over a waterfall- with the kids playing underneath- a horrible wrongplace-wrongtime situation K

Tragic, but perhaps lacking scale?

Will anything change? Can't quite envisage QTRA making any significant inroads...

 

Not in our life time.

Good point Mr J.

 

Thanks to the hidden agendas at the UN we "swallow camels and strain at gnats". No where is this more evident than Africa. £££millions get spent on censuring Israel on settlements, meanwhile millions of people are starving to death. [emoji849][emoji35][emoji35]

It's a tree related incident though Kevin, which is why Stuart posted it.

[Mark Bolam]

Good point Mick.

 

On the scale of tree related deaths this is massive.

Yes, that was my thinking too, does that mean the interest is in the tree rather than the deaths or broader geo-political situation?

 

I mean, the report doesn't even mention the tree species or who last inspected it...

 

Bloody media!
