Quote:Contractors demolish Texas woman’s home by mistake — then say it’s ‘not a big deal’

Quote:The mistake came about because the demolition crew – employed by Billy L Nabors Demolition, a 50-year-old business based in nearby Seagoville, Texas – went to the wrong address. They were supposed to demolish another tornado-damaged house one block away, on Cousteau Drive.

“The incident is under investigation,” said an employee of Billy L Nabors Demolition reached by phone. The employee declined to comment further, but according to local ABC affiliate WFAA, the company CEO George Gomez said that the mistake was “not a big deal.”

Quote:Details are obviously still emerging, but it appears that perhaps nearly 20 people, including many young children, were murdered in cold blood today in Connecticut by a man wielding a semi-automatic gun of some sort.  
Initial reports are that many shots were fired.  The shooter is also apparently among the dead.
Meanwhile, eerily enough, in China today is a strikingly similar story.  Apparently a knife attack at a primary school in Henan province wounded 22 children and an adult.  The attacker is in custody.
