RichardColeman 62260 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 So, compensation for a life is about 1 months income for us expats ? Disgraceful 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
newnative 10043 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 I saw one of the surviving, horribly burned and scarred victims on tv the other day. No amount of money would compensate but it certainly should be more than this woefully inadequate, miserly amount. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
