Nodar Kumaritashvili Crash VIDEO: Winter Olympics Luge Slider DEAD (GRAPHIC PHOTOS)


Very sad to lose a life in such a peaceful competition between nations, as so many are lost due to hateful wars.

Although the photographs are very explicitly disturbing, the emotions they evoke in the reader are the closest that we will come to empathizing the feelings of those survivors who endured the accident in the firsthand.

We all can use a bit of empathy for the real suffering of others, it is painful to see, but it builds character. This is not another slick catastrophe to be grouped in with the rest of the "news".

Take the time to appreciate the gravity of the loss, as opposed to wasting it while spouting off about how the pictures offend you.

Death hurts on a multitude of levels, we should not be insulated from that fact.
