Quite a coincidence that it happened so quickly after the burst of the steam-pipe in NY.

Might seem to outsiders that the US infrastructure is crumbling.

Yes, it almost seems all the money went to something else.

I don't wanna poke into anyone... but why is this a tragedy, but when 40 iraqis die, it's just another news report? :S

 

[Profe]

because iraqis die all the time!

 

[Pycckuu]

Because when something like this happens in the West, it's usually a horrible **** up because the quality control around here is pretty good. Iraq has a war, and people die in wars so the public is generaly more accepting towards that.

Also way to asshole up a thread Europeans, it is as if after enslaving the entire world you have been promoted to a new position that allows you to mock everybody else

Not everyone, but certainly the Americans.

It's quite logical that a bridge collapse with 7 deaths is on the front page because it's unexpected. Yet these things happen and it's not the end of the world and act like it's a huge drama for the USA. But I think most people in the USA are like "yea k it happend but it's not the end of the world".

Sure, it's tragic for those involved - either literally or through relation, but it surely isn't viewed as the end of the world. I think everyone, worldwide, needs to just step away from CNN.

tragic event none the less. Euros, unless you have anything polite to say, **** off please. There's enough air pollution in this world without you commenting in this thread.

Well if you feel the need to mock us, why can't we bring every European stereotype to the table when you bring every American stereotype? We could just retaliate with "Oh, all English people have bad teeth and everyone even in the remote area of Germany is a Nazi, and every Russian is a communist, but no, we don't. Why? Maybe because we have some mental restraint, unlike some people.

I wasn't joking...

Hey look, I have enough restraint for everyone.
