[nfb-talk] Tragedy in Denver

[Bonnie S]

I'm in agreement with Mike and Sherri on this.  I just figure that when it's 
my time to go, it will be my time.  Icy conditions haven't kept me away from 
the bus stops in the past, nor will they in the future.  We still have lives 
to live like everyone else.  Even at the safest bus stops, accidents _will_ 
happen.  There's no getting around that.

I'm sorry, but I agree with Mike on this one. This was an accident, plain
and simple. There are no modifications for bus stops that would have
prevented it. This accident would have injured or killed sighted people as
well. This does not, however, lessen the severity of the tragedy or the loss
and my sincerest condolences go out to those at the CCB and to the families
of the students who were hurt and to the family of the student who was
killed. I also pray for the person driving the car when the accident
occurred. I am sure she is devastated.
