Peruvian football team has really bad day

Thanks...

...as a Red Sox fan (down 3-1 in the playoffs), getting beat pretty badly by Tampa, our situation doesn't seem so bad in comparison to these poor guys.

In any case, (say it with me, Sox fans) "there's always next year".

// Nice to have our old Sox back

/// But then again, it's not over, till it's over...

Not disgruntled fans?

How did the robbers fare? Inquiring minds want to know.

Eight people dead? Sew my sides up.

At least they did not start eating their dead 

while wating to be rescued.

Where is the Tech angle? 

IT Angle

Is it simply because it was on MSN?

Dick Lovewell

IT?

Not sure of the IT angle - or do the brakes constitute "technology"?

Just seems like quite a sad story really.

Just Google for "Busby babes".

Owen Sweeney

Tech angle??

To all those wondering about the lack of a tech angle - it's a bootnote....

Probably because it's related to footballers.

Robbers/football/bus/ravine type story ruined by death

and a lack of Michael Caine, teetering or gold.

IT angle: susceptibility of the electronic Turin traffic management system.

we should adopt this as a new Register measurement standard of a bad day?

"The coffee machine broke down so we are giving today a rating of 1/2 a Peruvian Football Team"

Mine is the one with the bandit's mask in the pocket...

Not worst day ever 

How about this:

One lightning bolt killed an entire team and left the other team unharmed.

Ummm... 

Are we not counting the Uruguayan football team? The plane crash in the Andes?

Cannibalism ring a bell?
