[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Extremely sad news is not even the way to begin this. Three students were in an accident near the Pentagon, their BMW hit a Lexus. Two did not survive. I am hearing these are students from a Fairfax county high School. This is beyond tragic.[/quote]

It sucks. It’s a bummer. But it’s not “tragic.” This doesn’t meet any definition of tragedy [/quote]

It is tragic.

As a parent of preteens who knew kids who died in car crashes in high school including my best friend's bf, I am very sad for these kids and their families and friends.  [/quote]

No, it's not a tragedy. By definition. There's no one who's noble falling from grace, here. This is not profound human suffering. This is just some idiot teens who thought they were immortal doing stupid stuff. It's commonplace.

It's infuriating. It's sad. It's a royal bummer. It's cliched. It's criminal. It sucks for the affected families. But it is not, by any actual definition, a "tragedy."[/quote]

100% agree.

And this was preventable. Let’s not lose sight of that either. Blame should be assessed here. [/quote]
