There is no honour hitting below the belt of the dead. A moment of foolishness cause their own death and great pain to their families. Beyond that, we don't know what sort of person they were except for those who are related to them. 

Some folks are just plain flashy with what they have but have a big heart to accommodate people of different backgrounds. If one makes a decent living and is proud of their success there really is no crime except mostly jealousy from others isn't it?

It is fair to say the families involved are in extreme grieve during such joyous period and nasty comments don't make things better. I don't think the families deserve more pain than what they already got. Not saying that people in this forum are making nasty comments but I think if we know of people who are then it's probably good to remind them to have empathy.

As a person unrelated to any of the victims, it sends chills in me to see the video of someone running into a fire to rescue those trapped. I can only imagine what she witness, hear and felt. For the other friend tailing behind in another vehicle, it's the same. Life will never be the same again.

Nobody mentioned Comfort taxi driver coming in from the opposite direction was truly lucky?

Had he drove by just a min earlier he would have been the one to kanna a flying BMW projectile head on. I'm quite sure the results would have been disastrous for him. 

All those who played or condoned the stupid game already won the ultimate stupid prize, still living or dead. Enough said. Thanks that none of the truly innocent got involved.

You know why Shakespeare is hailed as a great genius? 

Because he truly understood the essence of human nature and communicated it so eloquently through his works. 

In Julius Caesar, he wrote:

"The evil that men do lives after them;

The good is oft interred with their bones." 

 This incident perfectly exemplifies this mindset.

That girl is really brave. She deserves a tiger. 

I don’t know if it’s brave or foolish, it’s only 一线之差. With that kind of fire, running into it accomplish nothing.

And with 80% of her body burnt, she will be disfigured and the aftercare (apply cream, wear compression suit, skin grafting, etc) is tremendous. Oh and I haven’t mention about the few hundred thousand dollars hospital bill.

At that point of time, there is only 1 thing in her mind. From the new video, you can see that the fire was burning on her for quite some time without anyone noticing it. It is sad but we are not in the situation and position to comment. 

Some shit happen to me before. I was not even aware that I am injure or feel pain until hours after the incident.

Her dumb friend in black who came in the white car noticed it but he was running around like a headless chicken.

not only heroes, also heroine.. 
please pardon me for my cruelty, my opinion any of their friends and family members should have just keep low profile on this matters. No need to brag how good they were anymore in such situation.. Should actually acknowledge the mistake and advise others not to follow the same paths.. 

Well if they got interview by the newspapers and were being asked how the person is when he is alive what do you expect the person to say?

Some may reject the interview got too distraught, some may accept. They just answered what's being asked. 

Even some of us would like to know the identity of them and their background.

I'm not saying what they say is truth or not and whether saying this paint them as heroes and heroine, but at the same time why should I doubt them at this time and think that they are bragging? All these are not important at all. 

I agree that everyone can say what they like and are entitled to their own opinion, but just hoping we can a a bit kinder. 

When people say they deserve it, I don't disagree though I won't want to say it out loud as I think the less such comments online the better it is, but these type of comments I can accept and feel it's normal and not that nasty. But when I saw comments joking describing and speculating how they died and how cremation may have discount, these are totally uncalled for. Or people doubting their background and character and attacking their friends and families for saying good things about the deceased. 

Personally I think the girl is really brave and love her BF a lot by running straight into the fire. Previously some speculate that maybe when she tried to save them there was no fire and the halfway through then explode, this proved that she was well aware of the fire and run straight in without thinking. Whether if she's equally responsible for the accident is a different matter.

Yah, a minute earlier and it would have been another Ma Chi.

The tone of reporting would likely be very different then.

U r correct. But at the same time cruel online comments can happen over any reason. Sometimes the reason is frivolous. Other times is serious. Comments that they brought it upon themselves (yes even passengers) are not untrue, merely insensitive. When is the right time to point out that real friends dont let friends do crazy illegal mod/racing?

Agree with you on this. 

I think such comments though insensitive are not nasty. I just felt those comments that joke about cremation got discounts, people doubting their background and character and attacking their friends and families for saying good things about the deceased are totally uncalled for.
