Are you saying is that it is OK to go along with the crowd even though two young adults died?

But yeah, if two young adults died of the big C at about the same time outside a condo building, I think the newspapers would have published that. What are the odds of two 21 year olds dying of the big C at about the same time outside a condo building?

I was wondering why two young adults did not realize that breathing in a gas that did not contain sufficient amounts of oxygen could be anything but unsafe. I was wondering about the state of their education that they could think it would not be exceedingly dangerous. Breathing in a lung full of helium would not be fatal, but breathing in consecutive lungfuls of helium would prove fatal. The only up-side that I can see is that the two young adults died painless deaths and that this might console the loved ones left behind.

Were they drunk or high at the time?, that would have impaired their judgement just a tad!

There is a black comedy element, but it is soon quenched when one thinks of the grief of the loved ones left behind. It must be awful for them. Just awful.

Can you wait for the toxicology report before casting aspersions on two recently deceased young people you have never met. :rolleyes:
