Ah! Taken in context your comment makes more sense. I must admit that while reading the post, my first feeling was of sorrow, but as someone fascinated with technology, I was also thinking a little about someone who speaks a different language being able to communicate their innermost thoughts with people half way around the world.

While posting a comment, stating the story is sad, might be redundant. But, posting a comment about some silver lining might be a common response. My siblings and I laughed at some of the funny events about my dad did while transporting his body to the cemetery. The feeling of grief was overwhelming and that was a coping mechanism.

That being said, given the level of info that was passed on, one might be more enamored by the blog and twitter and translate, as they try to cope with the terror or death. Smells a lot to me like PR company BS. While I suspected it when reading the post, looking thru the HN comments showed that my suspicions weren't unfounded.
