ywnjudy> organizers of the event….most obvious which may be less talked about is: This is an immature, infantile generation, which doesn’t look before it leaps.
I don’t know whether we mean the same thing, but there is a direct explanation here – they went there against health regulation and advice of some gedolim. I am ok with generalizing to the sins of generation, but I don’t understand those who ponder about the even without considering most direct explanation (unless it is done in the context of not hurting people directly affected by the tragedy).
There was a call for a fast on front page here. Do many people plan to participate? There was no hint in the call that this calls to reflect on the behaviors that called the disaster.
