The whole scenario is tragic...from the first killed, to the angry family members and finally the extreme death toll. I'll be praying for these families and business owners.
It's a lesson to us that revenge isn't the answer...

Quote:
WAI, India - Thousands of sobbing relatives struggled to identify the blackened and bruised bodies of loved ones in a hospital Wednesday, a day after a stampede during a religious procession to a hilltop temple killed at least 258 people and injured 200 in western India.
The chain-reaction tragedy began when several Hindu pilgrims inside the temple fell on a slippery floor and were crushed to death by the crowd. Word of the accident then trickled out to some of the hundreds of thousands of pilgrims climbing toward the hilltop on a narrow walkway.
