Evidently you get news in the us with the same delay as we in europe get news from the us, and I don't mean the time differences. The Mercedes 280 S from hotel Ritz crashed with 196 km/h (ca 122 miles/ h) and his unbelted royal or prominent passengers into the tunnel pillar. French officials confirmed that the accident chaufeur, who was a known alcoholic since one years at least and had 1.75 promille BAC, had challenged the paparazzis by his remark "Try to follow - you will never get us anyway" (approx. translation), according to at least one eye/ear witness. And, concerning ethics: Daily Mirror had 80 extra pages yesterday, and Sun sold 1 million papers more ... evidently there are persons who are interested in those bloody news - who are the "bad guys" ?
