I was quite amused by the pictures of the world leaders in their solidarity pajamas ... I wonder what possessed the organizers of such an event to require that everyone dress in something other than the typical approved diplomatic formal wear? Okay, I understand the concept (like in the Chairman Mao days) of everyone dressing alike to remove any perceptions of class or status ... but this is just weird.

(I wonder if they performed a June Taylor-like dance number)

I also had a question about the train derailment pictures ... the accompanying story said three people were treated at a hospital for injuries? Usually there are multiple fatalities and many more serious injuries than that! The story mentions 5 overturned passenger cars in addition to the locomotive.
