Kite Runner is a recent book (and a very, very good read) that describes this event. wendy said on 02/27/07 @ 04:22 PM: I was going to say Kite Runner too. It's scary to think that something you think of for kids can turn into something so dangerous. Burton said on 02/28/07 @ 10:55 AM: This happens every year. Seriously. Same article, same event, slightly different number (but I bet they're pretty close.) KeenEye said on 02/28/07 @ 12:32 PM: Yes. Kite Runner is a very good read, just not while on vacation. I read this while in the Caribbean, and sobbed while reading it. Almost every photo of me at the beach is with red, puffy eyes. Post a comment |
