:cry just saw a burnt bug on tv

:cry :cry just saw a burnt bug on tv in SA.... no one from here I hope:cry :cry

poor little car.

a minutes silence in it honour 🙁

Yeah, my wife was going on about the people who had been killed by the fires and she didnt get much of a reaction out of me, and the I said "look at the burnt beetle" and then I copped an earful about being more concerned about a "car" than about human life. Anyway I told her that there were far more people in the world than there are beetles so they are the more endangered species.

hope all our south aus residents are OK

Saw it and my reaction was the same, poor bug. But, crap, have people forgotten what to do in bushfires? have we been that safe and lucky for 20yrs??? From what I heard last night, the majority of deaths were in cars???

yeah i saw it last night too. the funny part was both me and my Dad said the same thing!:thumb

The people losing their lives is absolutely awful.

I'm afraid though that I, too, didn't react anywhere near as depressed about the people as I did about the dub.

Am I a bad person? :o🙁

Me too....

does that mean We are all Bad People???

or We all just hate seeing another Beetle die....
and as someone said....
it cannot be replaced......
the numbers dwindle.....

I don't think we are bad people, We just know the Beetle can't run away by it's self and it was left behind:o

Was that a burnt out kombi I saw in the SA caravan park? Picture is in today's Age but too small to be sure.

yeah there was a split Kombi in a shed near the Beetle as well, i saw it on several news reports said it was somewhere on the Eyre Peninsular
