My thoughts exactly. It's rediculous that some people care more for computer chips in their things, than human lives.

The good news though.. is that there were no casulties according to Bloomberg. Although, it doesn't mention anything about any injuries that might have occured in the incident.

Go read the first page on the GAF thread. It's a lot worse than anything posted here.

Like others have said, we hope that all parties directly involved are OK.

Not sure why it is bad for us to discuss the impact of this on gaming. If I want to discuss the injuries or deaths, I would have gone to Bloomberg or CNN or whatever and discussed it with the article explaining what happened. There is an appropriate place to discuss everything. I think a gaming forum on a games industry website would be the appropriate place to discuss these impacts to gaming.
