...add to that, 7 people die in a Shuttle burn-up, 7 people who were well 
aware of the risks that they were facing; 7 people die in the Waterfall 
derailment, 7 people who were just going about their normal activities; 
but we get the massive outpouring of grief over the Shuttle, and attempts 
at political point scoring ahead of a NSW election over Waterfall.  Where 
are our priorities?
