Such a sad loss of, especially young, lives, etc.

Just saw a clip on the news of a similar group of kids going on the same holiday in the same hotel and it really brought home the tragedy.

I suppose time will tell how the coach driver managed to drive into a shear wall.
More to the point, why didn't the wall have Armco barrier around it to deflect vehicles away from it.
The wall I comment on, is in the pictures in the link I supplied.  :(

Have heard on the news that the driver and another adult were seen 'putting in a dvd shortly before the crash??
Very sad  :(
