That was an amazing video of an event I was not aware of. It was sickening, but I don't feel comfortable judging people confronted with a situation I have thankfully never had to face. From the comfort of my easy chair, I can definitely say that I would never do that. After enduring decades of war and an approaching certain death and probable torture, I may not be as confident.

Also, I may be alone in this: the kids should have definitely been boarded first, but as society increasingly insists on gender equality, I'm starting to question why female lives are more important to save than male ones.
