Police find two bodies

What annoys me is this $hit makes the news every so often and still people are stupid enough to head off ill equiped. I'm sorry but I have no sympathy for them... It's equivelent to going skydiving without a parachute...

2 people have died and what do we get from Davoe & Blue - true compassion - may it happen to your family - no I take that back - I think Even they would be ashamed your comments.

A lot of people out there shouldn't receive any sympathy based on some comments!

Those who don't take a break when they are tired
Those who speed
Those who use there phone, or anything else that distracts
and so on!!

We all have had time in our lives where we do something stupid (no disagreement that they were foolish) and think how lucky we were that there wasn't a worse outcome. But we never head out planning to do something that results in our own deaths!!

Surprised it has happened again, no I'm not. Suprised at some of the comments made on this site, sadly no I'm not!!

That's about 6 people I can think of that have died in the Oz outback in the last 2-3 years..... ( the hoards of earlier ones I can't remember) ... many more have come damn close to expiring too.....bloody sad .... no excuse for any of it ..... BUT the worst think is that it will keep happening. As others have said, virtually all are down to plain lack of preparation."Luck" it is said is"that happy circumstance when preparation meets opportunity"- these people die when that situation runs in the reverse.

Hmmmm......I will be out there in the same area in a couple of weeks.

Yes Truckster, it is dangerous leaving home sometimes. You only went for a short drive recently and broke down.

You should have checked that alternator before you left home!!! LOL

OK, not long home from work to find I've upset quite a few of you...

Lets deal with the "$50 they were indiginous" part... Poor judgement on my part, uncalled for and in bad taste. I was thinking at work today that this part may have offended and it clearly has. All I can do is apologise and hope you guy's will accept it as being sincere.

"This coming from a MAN with a spoon stuck to his nose" Relevance???? Have you never had a little fun with your family or friends?

I have no sympathy for the following reason:

This was NOT a "simple mistake", it was a ludicrously stupid and unforgiveable action. These two have brought a massive amount of grief to their own families and the people who found and had to recover them, and the reason why... Not enough fuel, not enough water, not enough food, a substandard map and a vehicle not nearly well enough equiped to tackle the journey.

All the information you require to plan and prepare for a well thought out trip and give yourself the best chance of returning home safely, is but a mouse click away...

I have a great amount of sympathy for the loved ones left behind, they are the only victims in my view.

What the hell is wrong with you people. Two men are dead damn it. Show some compassion and respect for their families.

Very disappointed

I've been out there a couple of times. Would never think of going without lots of planning, provisions and spares. they say it is not neseccary to tell the police anymore, but we still did, even tho we had VKS contact.
Without common sense it is even dangerous to walk to the corner shop.
My sympathy goes out to the family of the deceased but everyone has to use their brain as well. If you get my drift.
