Actually, it should be posted high and wide to let Greeks know what can happen in a snap second and a person dies.

Maybe it will be something to think about.

As I mentioned, the deaths by falling from buildings is the highest % of any deaths.

Is it sad, you damn right it is.

This young man did not have the experience to live and enjoy the life He wanted or was ahead of him.

Just curious Tom, where'd you get that statistic? Number and source?
Macallan, I'm very sorry to hear about your brother. Normally I'd say hang in there but...bad pun this time.

As reported in the Kansas City Star newspaper for your infomation.

No matter if there are % points, it is still a tragedy isn't it?

It is not about what % there is, it is about the young man who died or did you forget that?
