While I don't know Phil personally, I've been on here long enough to see most of his posts and you guys shouldn't be surprised at how frank and open he usually is with his comments.
To be fair to him, this is a thread about a news article talking about the accident. It didn't start out as a condolences thread. If this accident happened in a city where the chances of any of us knowing the vitims were minimal, I know exactly how the thread would have gone.
To those of you who knew the victims, you have my genuine condolences. I know what it's like to lose someone before their time and it seriously sucks. It leaves a void that can never be filled.
However, I've also been on the other end of this sort of situation. If any of you guys remember the accidnt involving the Del Sol on Lougheed Hwy a few years back, my girlfriend-at-the-time's grandma was one of the cars the driver had hit. She was trapped in her car, injured, and it took the jaws of life to get her out. I was definitely younger back then, but that incident taught me to look towards the innocent victims involved regardless of if it's a passenger in the car that caused the accident or someone that was hit. The drivers of both the car in my example and the one in the Mz6 very well could have been fantastic individuals. I didn't know either of them, and it's not my place to judge people on a single action. However, when that single action causes an impact such as they both did, don't be surprised if hostility rises up.
