I don't believe it is correct to judge this situation in the court of public opinion. My heart goes out to everyone involved, their family & friends and the first responders who, while it is their job, would not normally have to deal with this scale of event.
Ned Kelly, a notorious Australian bushranger, was captured in 1880 and was executed by hanging on November 11, 1880, after spending 2 years in jail. His last words were allegedly, "Such is life."
Really??
