I wish the author had been a bit more sensitive to the families of the deceased.

I see what you mean. Good Lord. If there's anyone out there who doesn't know what a hay baler does, they can look it up. No reason to spell it out in such grotesque detail.

I read this at the library and it is a very sad article. It was well written (although I second NutBrnHair's comment about sensitivity) and the author has won awards for her writing. I knew an alumn from this chapter who graduated a few years before this and wondered how it affected her. I think that it is very difficult to convey how something like this affects all those involved.

Read it last night on my Nook. Interesting how they handled it individually and collectively.
