Yep, another Bum trip, but for right now at least they believe it was an accident.. I'm sure that's not any help to the one's that died.. :(

I heard it on the radio in my car, when I was driving with my son to pick up my husband from work.
And I thought: NO - NOT AGAIN.....Can't be true.....

Accident or not - I still feel with those who have lost someone.

Kind regards and thoughts to everybody in USA,
