Tee hee 

[Webby the Bear]

They said there was a pro skier that had an almost identical accident. He recovered after a 3 week induced coma. Either way it's not good

Superb 

All joking aside, I personally think he is an arrogant idiot on occasions......but I really do wish him all the best for a speedy and 100% recovery.

[albitz]

Likewise,its well documented that I detest the bloke with a passion, but I wouldn't have wished that on him. 

[BazaJT]

After his first couple of races I argued[with others at work]that either he would become world champion or kill himself in the attempt,though I was never a fan of his at any time.I do however hope that the doctors can control the swelling of the brain and that he makes a full and speedy recovery.News does not sound good though.

Hopefully he will pull through, else we'll be inundated with stories and reports about what an arse a really great bloke he is/was. Mandela was bad enough, although he did at least do summat constructive

When Diana died they called of the Newcastle v Liverpool match. I was most annoyed.

People would be sad, especially the ones I owe money to.

Refreshing to see some self awareness.

I have sympathy for him, but...........blanket coverage on the bbc is just plain wrong. Another bomb has exploded in Volgograd, killing ten, and there are other events far more important than this.
It wasn't till I turned over to sky news that I learned of the bus bomb. The bbc in General, and news 24 in particular, get their claws into a story and just stay with it, interviewing 'witnesses' by phone and asking them for their thoughts when the poor buggers only heard a bang from two miles away.

Disgruntled of Wakefield.

I must agree.

Schumacher voluntarily chose to ski off-piste with the well known associated risks

Passengers on the bus did not choose to get on a bus with a suicide bomber

Interestingly, Schumacher is still on the front page of most news sites, but the Russian bombings have almost disappeared. Strange.

I think you mean "Illuminati plot to obscure world events and manipulate the public meta consciousness" ... or something equally conspiracy theorist

[Sir Tigger KC]

Yep the BBC devoted almost 10 minutes at the start of the 6pm news yesterday to the Schumacher story! 

Whilst it's undeniably a terrible accident that hopefully will have a happy ending, it's not exactly a story of much importance compared to terrorist attacks in Russia, civil war in South Sudan where over 2000 people have died in the last couple of weeks, an attempted coup in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and a tasty train crash in the US!! 

I guess that the people at BBC news think that news isn't that important really....
