Let's put "inconvenience" in perspective.  Firstly, if we're talking loss of life, be grateful you're still alive.  Secondly, be thankful you live in a city with side streets and alternative routes.  You *can* get around the scene of an accident.  Try sitting in traffic for hours on the Seward Highway between Anchorage and Seward/Kenai where there are NO alternatives but to just sit it out and hope it's not in winter when you run out of gas trying to keep warm.  In times like that, my thoughts go outward -- to families, friends, etc., of the victims ... not on me, myself, and I.
