There seems to be tragedies all over the shop these days. Here in Norway, there was just recently a train accident where two trainscollided head on, and I think more than 30 people died including the entire staff save one.I always knew the sea was a dangerous place, but I thought trains were supposed to be fairly safe.
Another song that comes to mind is Donegal Danny. Non-political, about the perils and tragedies of the sea.
