What’s happening Doha ?

"We"? Brit, you cannot speak for everybody. Some people are concerned about many things happening around the globe (Greenpeace), for example. It is sad that it has to happen in the neighborhood to draw attention. (While at the same time more than 20 children (!) die from hunger in Africa daily!

We only care when things affect us directly or those who we can empathise with. The tragedy of the triplets has galvanised the expat community and given them a common purpose, we will soon go on our summer vacations and things will be normal when we come back.. Nothing much will Change. :0(

finally Free Press... but will it be persistent... not the accident... the exposure.. i mean.

In September 2011 55 people died in road accidents. Does anybody care?

They said that this is the 2nd worst tragedy... the 1st one was the 50 sub con workers living in a floating accommodation and it sank most of them drowned.... it was back in 2009 and I never read it nor heard about it

there were probably the same amount of things going on... its just that none of it got reported.... now, people aren't keeping quiet.... and all the rubbish is coming out in the wash...

It's called a free press! This is what it's all about.

MN...

something really strange happening...alot of fire incident in the last couple of months...

I see the changes too after the sad villaigio incident...

new and bold Emergency Exit signs installed and inspection being carry out on the Fire Alarm and Sprinkler system...

Change is media, first we were not receiving this much reports/news about these accidents, now we have access.. this is the only difference..

I feel it is a bit more than usual...Unless the reporting got stronger than before..

Is I more than normal ? I doubt it ...
