I'm Sorry

I feel like, with all the issues surrounding the fire at the beach over the weekend, there are a lot of unsaid things involved. What needs to be said is that there must have been alcohol involved in the incident. It is something that has yet to be said but still has bearing to the storyline. The fire occurred in the early morning which begs the question, why didn’t some of the students get out? I know it’s a tragedy and I do feel bad for all those affected, but I need to ask, how much of an effect did alcohol play on how well the students were able to react to the fire? I think if alcohol were not involved, all of the students should have been able to escape the blaze properly, awaking from their respective slumbers in time. If alcohol was present in some of the victims’ bodies, did they awake to the blaze? Or did they sleep peacefully? It may be too early, it may be too harsh, but I needed to ask.

No need to apologize. You aren't the only one who feels this way.

I completely agree with you're paper. Seeing these people pass away is definitely a sad event, but until it has been proven, I still believe this could have definitely been prevented.
