Highly disappointed. So far no such news on any international media that I was seeing they are all covering Munich attacks. God forbid if something happens to these Army soldiers nobody will be changing their Facebook DP to Indian flag. They will all be we are all Munich today. Just like how so many people died in Chennai floods and people were having French flags. This is the world we leave in. Some blood is more valuable than others. No coverage by ay major network. If this was a US war plane or some Russian Jet we would be plastered with non stop commentary about it with arm chair experts.
