    I thought it was only 20K. It makes sense to me. I guarantee that it was overbuilt. Had to run with minimal maintenance for a very long time. All work was most likely required to be done by union workers as well. That alone would cost double.

    Well, it's the situation of "ged mad once you know everyone is ok". The boy is ok, the several hundred dollar fish are not. If the boy had died, I would have a slightly tweaked view of the whole thing.

    This is yet another reason why people should be forced to drive manual transmission cars. If that thing was in neutral with the parking break on, this would not have happened. If she didn't have a boy in her lap, it might not have happened. If she knew what the pedal on the left was, it might not have happened. :p

    Justice in my mind would be forcing her to pay for the damages and the aquarium losses, or driving a truck into her house. I'm a "don't get mad, get even" and "do unto others as you would have others do unto you" kind of guy, if you can't tell. :D
