Well, as I say, it was mostly civilians who died in that crash that "made your day".
As for celebrating the violent death of strangers? We'll just have to disagree on that. I'm not saying I mourn the death of vicious thugs who have commit terrible abuses.
But to celebrate violence and death? To celebrate pain and human misery?
I will celebrate when the people of violence turn their swords into ploughs; when the world leaves those people behind because they are no longer needed or tolerated. Until then, it's all just a tragic waste - and every act of violence merely begets more. That doesn't make my day.
