I feel embarrassed and ashamed that I never had a clue that this disaster even occurred. Why isn't this on the news every 6th July for rememberance etc like with 7/7, Dunblane and Lockerbie? I never even knew this happened does anyone know what the nationality of the deceased were? Were they Scottish, English and Norwegian? 167 dead, that's crazy.
