Teen's Death Doesn't Faze Bridge Jumpers in Raglan

I remember this bridge, in Raglan.  I remember all the people that jumped off of it.  It did look like they were having an incredible amount of fun.  I don't even know how deep those waters were.  Either way, today's tragic event demonstrates that there is danger in this activity.

Today a 16 year old young man, died as his friend landed on top of him.  His friends searched for him, and found him 10 - 15 minutes later.  He could not be revived.  Full story in The New Zealand Herald.

There is a video embedded in the article which shows the bridge, and people jumping off the bridge.

Fire at Domaine Restaurant

The first thing I thought of was that "I've eaten there before!"  I can't believe there was a huge fire there.

As written in the New Zealand Herald, there was a huge blaze at The Domaine restaurant in Hamilton.  It looks pretty bad from the pictures.  Reading these articles brings back memories of living there.  When I read that fire fighters came in from Cambridge and Ngaruawahia, I immediately try to recall where those places were and if we went there.  We definitely went to Cambridge a few times.  We even went to the museum there.

I'll see if I can find pictures of the food we had at The Domaine.  If you know me, you'd know that I love to take pictures of my food.  I recall that the food was okay.  The service was good though.  I hope that the owners can recover from this unfortunate incident quickly.
