      It's a tourist spot. They go their everytime like they said. Accidents happen. Agree that two men died but these 13 could have also died. There are equal chances. We can't hold that against them. Brave men lay their life for others are really great and they live for such incidents and die for others. They are special borns but remember these 13 didn't know all this gonna happen. This is just one unfortunate situation like what happened to Manjummel boys in India.
