Thanks for that article link sun surfer - good find.

Yes Synamon and caleb72, I know what you mean about the detachment. Perhaps it is a way of dealing with what is unimaginable horror. The detachment is a necessary protection, as it is for people who have to deal with horrors: for example, in the aftermath of of something like the plane crash in France. We need to shield our minds from the full dreadfulness in order to stay sane.
