He goes in expecting to pick up his nephew's body, then discovered 14 other relatives.
It's sad to know that this shit still goes on in the world.
I can't even begin to imagine the pain that man is feeling.

It depends - [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PNS_Mehran_attack"]this[/URL] was quite worrying, though and it wasn't too far back either.
I mean damn.
I want everyone to just take a second and put yourself in this man's shoes. Don't even apply it directly- replace his family with people that you love and can't go a day without. If you could do that, you could understand this guy's pain.
It's really heartbreaking how unforgiving this world really is.
