| 1214445 | 2011-07-03 23:34:00 | I was just reading a news article that kind of gave me a chuckle . Yes there was a person that died . I read the responses . Some say it's ugly and that people should just be careful and do what they want how they like . Some also said barriers were a earthquake risk . But I thought that . . internationally many places have them, so not all people can be said, hey just trust me . And, althou any death or injuries are never good, internationally speaking NZ has a great safety record . Many of the deaths/injuries overseas don't get as much publicity as here . |
