  1. Greetings. May I humbly request that the image be removed, so as to show respect and sensitiveness to the bereaved family. Thank you very much.

  2. Hi Ali,

    I respectfully ask you to remove the pictures, this is because the pictures can still be found under google search. I understand that you want to share this moment as a reminder to all so that they can be more careful, but maybe you could post other pictures e.g. of the funeral instead? This is a plead to you, cos only you can do it. The parents are devastated, and the father is obviously someone who peruse the web too, so they could see it and be reminded of how their sons died such a tragic death. I think they have ,memories that they want to keep of their children and it’s most definitely not one that is posted on this blog. I’m sorry if what I plead cause offence to any of your intentions, but I think in the big picture, it’s the best thing to do now. Thank you

  3. Hi, the parents of the boys have seen the bodies on Monday. But they do not deserve to be reminded of how their children died that day. I respectfully request that you remove the picture. Thank you.
