I didn't see laughter. I saw a slight smile. But why do people smile and laugh to begin with? There are times they do it to relieve stress. What is one of the biggest fears a person has? Public speaking. That slight smile was a reaction to something someone said to him before his speech. It had nothing to do with anything else.

There is a mood change, he was in a different mood he was with other people and maybe his mind was off the tragedy for a brief moment, but you can tell in his speech he was heartbroken. He starts out by saying "OK" then he looked down like he was lost; he looked like he didn't want to give a speech about the tragic events that happen just a day before. After he said "ok" he starts to hyperventilate. You can see him breathe in & out heavily, even his voice starts to pitch higher with some words, he got choked up on others and there are moments it looked like he wanted to cry.

I can't say I have ever lost a daughter, but if I did, and had to say something about her and the other 2 dozen children that also died, I would not be smiling and merrily nodding to people before I made my statement, and I would not be trying to get into character before I went on camera, I am pretty sure the devastation and shock I would be in would be enough. If you don't think that video is strange then...I don't know what to say.

I agree.
