Now we have the first (hopefully last) casualties from the Summer Games according to Yahoo News and NPR. The US Mens Volleyball coaches relatives have been violently attacked, stabbed; one is dead, the other serioulsy injured. The Chinese man immediately jumped from The Drum Tower (A 13th Century building) committing suicide. The ancient Drum Tower is pictured right in this photo. The other tower pictured is The Bell tower. Click the link for full story.
