Quoting ciko: i have never understood why people feel so sorry for people die in plane crashes but why they dont care about traffic accidents happen every day around them and why all the country pretend to be sad after plane crashes  |
It is terrible when anyone dies in tragic circumstances, but normaly when a plane crashes there are no survivors.Many people have road accident and live.

I agree with you to a certain extent Ciko. There is rather a selective sympathy. People react to large disasters where many people are killed (sometimes with a strange voyeurism), political death and celebrity death, but seem to ignore day to day death and cruelty that is all around them.
For example, we rarely see many posts of sympathy on this site about mercy killings, murder by "domestic violence" or women driven to suicide by the culture of their husbands. In fact, a recent post about the wonderful news of proposed women's shelter in Istanbul was either treated with scorn or ignored by members here.
I have great sympathy to the relatives of the people who were killed in that crash but I won't jump on the sensationalist media bandwagon.

Quoting AEnigma III: It is very tragic news.
Typical of Turkish melodramatics to be talking of conspiracy theories already. 
...(let me guess that the US or EU will have something to do with it)..... |
More melodramatics, this time not by Turks.......
