OCEAN TOWNSHIP, N.J. - An 8-year-old girl died and three others were injured Wednesday when a tree fell on them during a first-aid class at a Boy Scout camp, authorities said.

The girls were participating in the class at an overnight camp when the 31-foot tree suddenly snapped, crashing through a tarp over a picnic table at which they were sitting, Police Chief Kenneth Flatt said.

"It was an accident. There was no warning. There wasn't a whole lot anybody could do," said Flatt.

The tree landed on the 8-year-old girl's head. She was pronounced dead at Southern Ocean County Hospital in Manahawkin.

1. Sorry, another thread beat you to making fun of a child's death.

And the Living for Life program is for underpriveleged children, so it's likely it was a poor minority child, as well.

You must be proud.

2. I said another tragedy

where in that post do I celebrate death?

That's right... it is not the suspect media coverage of the events that I'm drawing attention to, it is that I'm celebrating these tragedies. Think what you will but I challenge you to look back on those threads and see if any of my posts were deleted - none where. Which tells me, someone else other than yourself "got it."
