The blindspotwhat the coverage leaves out

Life's fragility passed over

The report lists prayers offered by officials but stops short of pointing anywhere beyond civic condolence. A reader is left with grief but no anchor for it, when Scripture speaks directly to sudden tragedy and the shortness of life.
