They [CNN] reported on and showed *parents* who had lost their only child
in
the recent earthquakes. These people spoke of their children being told
not
to *jump* in the classrooms, by their teachers. Evidently the teachers
felt
the schools were of sub-standard construction and were not capable of
sustaining the forces of excited children jumping up and down. The gist of
the story was *the schools* fell down when other buildings remained
standing.
Corruption rules!

I haven't come across a more idiotic cause and effect hypothesis.

One couple, who had lost their 12 year old daughter, were not only
devestated, the mother was inconsolable, they were also furious and wanted
answers.

The *school*, where their daughter was crushed to death, was the
_only_building that collapsed.

A very reasonable and normal reaction to intense personal grief.

It is this attribution that is ridiculous
