I know this isn't remotely the same, but when my friend Tim died people left these ridiculous wall-posts to him all over the place - "I miss you, it's not the same without you, etc etc." It frustrated me so much because I felt like... if you were really grieving, you wouldn't need to do it in such a bizarre public forum. AND, I'm sorry, but if you draw comfort from the idea that wherever Tim is now he might be CHECKING HIS FACEBOOK... you need a little fresh air.
Anyway, I feel like this is similar, albeit on a much grander scale. People trying to connect themselves to a tragedy for some strange reason or another.
