He was a wonderful man, who tutored our son in math. Before she passed, his wife told him to keep teaching to keep his spirits up. Which he did.

He was amazing with our kid, made math "click" for him, and had planned out lessons and books for the next few semesters.

I cannot believe you would write such an uninformed and hateful thing about such a wonderful human being.

"Firefighters used air bags to lift the train off of the victim" -- curious about a 20-ton airbag lifting a 100-ton locomotive. Did they use five airbags? Impressive technology.
