Germany didn't get involved in The Great War (aka WWI) until England and France declared war on Austria for declaring war on Serbia. The military pact Germany had with Austria brought them into the war otherwise they would have stayed out of Austria's conflict. The Great War was Austria and Serbia's conflict that boiled over into France and Germany and dragging Italy, Russia, England and the United States into it, yet Germany pays the price for Austria and Serbia's stupidity. *shakes head* They started it, they should have paid for it, not Germany. Might have avoided the second world war then. The reason the Great War was so bloody was because of the trench, machine gun and mustard gas. Now The Second Great War (aka WWII) was started by Germany for invading Poland in which England and France declare war over who in turn get their arses kicked until Germany stupidly invades Russia and Japan attacks the United States thus bringing two major countries into the war. Germany gets the medal for killing the most people in a single war but the United States gets the medal for killing the most people with a single bomb. Which is worse depends on you. History Fail.

The driver of the truck died from the overhang collapsing on her and her truck. The news stations are lying, a lot do that to make it seem like there is some sort of 'miraculous' act. I've seen other pictures surrounding the story, and they show her dead body between the truck and overhanging roof; along with pictures of the part of the building that fell on her and her truck.
