The fact that any one would even be thinking of how things are spelled right now makes me sick. It's no wonder this world is such a mess. Who ever "Check The Headline of This Story" is must be a total wack job and completely insincere to this tragedy. My best friend was very close to one of these gentlemen and she is heartbroken. How do you sleep at night? In regards to those who are human, and feel more than minor spelling corrections from this tragic event my heart goes out to you.

Do not blame it on the bar,they are adults. The problem is we try to place blame for our actions.That's part of the reason that there are so many lawyers in NY

If you want a good story, look into how many fatal dui accidents stem from that bar they were at. Trust me, you will be shocked.

Very sad. I feel sympathy for the families, but WHEN will people learn not to drink and drive? WHEN will bars stop serving people too much alcohol? WHEN will people think it is so "cool" to continue this insanity? At least this accident did not involve anyone other than the men who decided they were capable of driving. They could have easily killed a young family innocently driving along that road.

I'm sorry to add to the spelling posts but I just wanted to point out to "check the headline of this story" that it's very easy to make a mistake since he/she did it themselves. That's all. I'm very sorry about the loss of lives.

My heart goes out to the families who lost their loved one. I hope this wakes other people up to drinking and driving.

I hate to be too critical of the last post, but shouldn't that be "I hate to be too critical of YOUR journalism - not "YOU journalism?"

I see that you've corrected the headline. I hate to be too critical of you journalism....but honestly this is your job. You should be able to get a simple headline correct.

TWO men died and you are concerned with spelling. TOO many people die due to carelessness....I hope this opens people's eyes. Drive safe!

Please say a prayer for all involved. Spelling in a story like this does not even deserve mention.

Maybe you should focus on the fact that TWO people died.... not the spelling of the headline

Did the accident leave "to" people dead or "two" people dead? Is a middle school student writing this story?
