EDITOR - This is all wet

Your editorial on why we compensate people who have flood damage when they build on a flood plain is rich.

So are the stories we have to endure after a car crash that kills people because the driver of the car was drunk, but we never hear the hell the innocent people who get dragged into the tragedy, in some cases for the rest of their lives. They are the ones who were driving properly on their side of the road, living their lives smart.

The stories about memorials, closure, tears, sadness, and loss suffering are nice, but they do not seem to change the fact that there will more young people killed in yet another similar car crash soon to happen.
