Michael Schumacher hurt skiing

[TVC]

If people want a thread about the bombings then why don't they simply start one. Others can then decide to contribute to either or both instead of bickering about the relative importance of 2 unrelated news items.



What you still here?

My original post bringing the bombings into this thread was a comment on the editorial decisions of the rolling news channels, and not the relative worth of each story. Whilst BBC news is now leading with Russia, Sky continues with MS, pulling in more people to comment which fills the time between adverts but provides no more information.

Please keep the thread on topic and less of the personal insults.
No need for another thread to be closed.

Thanks.

The irony that he used to race around a track for thousands of miles at up to 200mph then he nearly gets killed by been on some powdered water. :*(

Is it just me thinking that there has been an awful lot of coverage about Michael Schumachers unfortunate injury in the UK media....i'm very sympathetic for the guy but he ain't a British sports star or one of our national treasures...there must be lots and lots of other poor sods with horrid injuries but with no publicity..last of the year over and of course I do hope the guy pulls through...i'm not totally heartless

Has he been hurt then ?

 

[Herbie]

Has he been hurt then ?

hurted his napper so I heard

I'm not an F1 fan, but recognise real talent in a world of mediocrity. Wish him a speedy recovery

 

[Dangermouse]

Not a Shuey fan but hope the guy pulls through with no long lasting affects.

 

[Mattonsea]

I hope he pulls through, such a rare talent , and had to fight for his championships !

This belongs in mundane news. With all that is going on in the world (and at home) it is hardly important news outside of his family.

couldn't agree more....too much coverage on our media IMHO

The story appears to been overtaken over by "Transgender scientist gored in the Highlands" now, you can even read about it in the USA.

Having no memory of this myself, it was up to my wife to point out the massive difference between the media attention given to Michael Schumacher now and that given to me in January 2010 when I was in exactly the same boat (although my adventure didn't involve skiing). The other massive difference is the outcome in cases of head injuries/brain damage in different individuals. The poor guy in the next intensive care bed to mine has still not made anything like a 'full recovery' and has still not returned to work. The disappearance of pop music lyrics from my memory bank is the only lasting legacy for me. The 'case' involving the worst actor in living memory who is in Coronation Street is as far removed from actuality, it's laughable. So there's literally no way at this stage to predict Michael Schumacher's prognosis with any accuracy.
