    More here, a few happy ones, but mostly sad ones.

    Heartbreaking read about a man who runs someone over.
    You don't often hear the other side of the story and how it can affect the driver (it those cases where it's not deemed their fault).

    Teamwork in Detroit..guy over on the bridge in the white was trying to commit suicide, truckers all lined up to try to prevent it.

    Syrian man pictured is a Christian migrant from 2015. Fleeing untold persecution.

    Living to the true tenets of his faith.

    I posted this elsewhere on Boards and Newie recommended that it would be appropriate for this thread so here it goes.....

    I went to the Titanic Experience in Cobh today and you are given a ticket with the name of one of the 123 people to board the Titanic in Queenstown. Your ticket is based on your gender, so women get women and men get men.

    I got Katie Peters, who was 26 when she left Galway with three pals in search of a better life in America. She was a third class passenger, like 113 of the 123 whom boarded in Cork. Third class passengers were not allowed to travel on the same tenders as the first and second class passengers, so while 10 travelled on one tender, all 113 third class passengers travelled on the other tender with all of the luggage.

    Unfortunately, I discovered that Katie perished on the Titanic and her remains were never recovered. Of the other three she set sail with, only one survived :(

    Apologies but the ticket is not attaching to this post for me.

    About halfway through I knew where it was going, it still hit like a tonne of bricks. I am not ashamed to say, tears where shed.

    Thanks Tom.
