[nfb-talk] Tragedy in Denver

[Gloria Whipple]

The thing I don't understand is that the three were just standing there
waiting for the bus. Why cannot sighted people get it through their thick
skulls that it wasn't their fault.

Sighted people can be so dense.

It said very plainly in the article that the driver lost control of her car
because of the ice.

I don't get it!

One of the upsetting things about yesterday's accident is that many bloggers

on the Internet are saying the reason for the accident was specifically 
because the students were blind.  I wish people would have some common 
sense.  No sighted person would have been able to react quickly enough and 
move out of the way in time, even if they did see the car coming at them. 
This could have happened to any pedestrian taking public transportation.  I 
guess the incident being blamed on blindness does not surprise me, but it 
does anger me.  I find such ignorance incredibly frustrating.
