I always get terribly emotional over the news.

And this...I think they said there's 11 kids that have lost a parent, including that baby who lost her mother.

Hearing the piper brought tears to my eyes.

And the Financial Review journalist shouldn't have been on that plane. He missed an earlier one and got a last minute ticket from the embassy on the doomed one.

The Sydney Morning Herald journalist is improved, she's now serious but stable and has been moved out of intensive care and is conscious. Apparently the worst of the burns were to her lower body.
