It's sad, but I can't really bring myself to care more than 'oh, someone died'. She lived for a long time though.

99 years old? wow. but at least she lived a very long life after that tragedy...whether it be a good life or not, I can't say though.

Well, the article says she was 5 years old so I don't think so. :D

She was the last one to remember what happened too with the last survivors now only being infants at the time. RIP
