A mental picture not for the faint at heart

Remember the Brazil night club fire last week that killed 200+?

One of the articles about the event (don't remember which or where) described the temporary morgue where the bodies of over 200 people, mostly college students, lay. Most had died of smoke inhalation, and were in their clothes, just as they died.

And all their cell-phones were ringing.

The image is very creepy, and then to realize that each ring is someone checking to see if the recipient is okay... man.

Shivers.
