Larry (tree) was correct. The train bombing was across the pond. The hockey game was in Canada and a Colorado team was involved. To the people of North America the hockey game was "here" and the bombings were "there". We automatically pay more attention to things around us than things far away. Therefore, the hockey game and attack rates more "air time" than the bombing. Or at least that is the way the news media sees it and many people here too. Let's face it, we are a stuck up nation. If it doesn't effect our gas prices, our jobs, or our economy then we don't pay that much attention to it. Well this is how I see it anyway.
