Turkey: Comparable Tragedies · Global Voices
Deborah Ann Dilley

Turkey and My Foreign Perspectives compares two recent school-related tragedies: the killing of 30 at Virginia-Tech University and the death of 33 elementary school students in a bus accident in Izmir. “Here in Turkey, this bus accident is the one of the worst in its history and one that citizens will remember in their hearts for years to come. In America, it is the worst school shooting of all times. Not likely to be forgotten with the media moguls documenting it play by play.”
