It is a tragedy that has some miraculous components to it. A busload of 60+ kids dangling over the edge did not fall and all the children survived. Many people survived because the bridge fell straight down somewhat slowly. Many people survived because the rush hour traffic was basically at a standstill and the cars did not have any momentum as the bridge went down.
I'm sorry; I'm not sure why you're angry. No one has said, "Wow! This was a fantastic thing that happened! Screw the families who lost loved ones--look at all the other people survived!"
No. I've heard, "We are heartbroken for the families who lost loved ones, but we are also grateful for the many lives who were spared, either by the heroic efforts of other people or the 'good fortune' that guided the way some other things happened."
People are looking at this and rightly thinking that it could have been a heck of a lot worse. And they are grateful that it wasn't--all at the same time as being sad for the people who died or were injured. That's the screwy thing about something like this; you can be sad and grateful at the same time.
And miracles don't have to occur just at the hand of the divine either.
So humans screw up and don't repair a bridge that they know is defective. But when it falls, hey, why didn't God keep that bridge from falling?
Or you're angry because some people are calling it miraculous intervention that more people didn't die? Well, you know, whatever you want to call it, I'm glad that things happened the way they did and many, many lives were spared. Call it luck or God--whichever floats your boat.
