Dying just like that

Over the pas couple of days, there have been a couple of very unfortunate accidents. People and newspapers have plenty to talk about. But this time there seems real emotion in the air because the fashion of death was very horrible, the body count was great, and that they could've happened to anyone.
Last evening, a car was crushed underneath a huge boulder. 4 dead and 2 in hospital. An entire family wiped out. The dead had to be brought out by sawing the car, such bad was the impact when the rock fell on the moving car.
This morning, around 0800, a bus fell into a ditch, with just a few or no survivors at all. The incident was close to where I'd gone for my morning adventure, but took place while I was returning back. I was first told of it by the neighbourhood kids. The entire village, apparently, was there for the day, helping bring the bodies up.

Life is so unpredictable; and it's so confusing when the your sources are differnt from the others, or your context is missing. Now, my day was exactly opposite to the glum and tension that stayed in the air for the day.
