They expressed surprise that those who were unfortunate enough to be caught up in it decided it was safe to continue. Personally speaking I do not understand why anybody would want to do something that could kill them regardless of whether they have young families but I guess it's these differences that make the world go round. That said obviously I'm very sorry to hear that people died but I do feel it could have been avoided. All very sad though
