MrB, John Westergaard's surgical dissection was a bit blunt. I would have been more precise. "People" don't normally drive cars - one person does. So there is a high probability that only one person was driving the car. That one person, it seems to me, is at fault (I've seen nothing from reports so far, that would indicate otherwise). I watched a 2-hour TV special on the incident last night, and I was amazed that (unless I missed it) no mention was made about the driver being at fault, much less any focus at all being placed on that aspect of the tragedy! If a pilot flies an aircraft into the ground at a high rate of speed, it's called "pliot error". Looks to me like this was simply a case of "driver error". If an Indy 500 race car driver runs into a wall, is it the fault of photographers and people who pay to watch? I don't think so. I'm disappointed, but not surprised, at all the global focus for the blame being placed on intrusive photographers and on people who buy their photographs.
