Delayed reaction

Many of you have probably heard about the bus crash in Verona, Italy, which took place last Friday. It was a horrible tragedy, with 16 dead, many of them high school students, lots of injured, two of them still critical.

I was so shocked that I'm just starting to feel the true impact of it. I've made many bus trips with kids, too, during my professional life; some of those were 12 or more hours long. It could have happened to us, too. And while every single death by this accident is terrible, I feel most for that poor PE teacher who's saved several kids, risking his own life - but he was unable to get to his own children in time. How is someone supposed to live with the knowledge that he could save other children but not his own?
