And now we have up to fifty people found dead in a lorry, just trying to escape a war zone and paying for it with their lives. Will this tragedy change European attitudes? Let's hope so, but I'm not putting any big money down.

Edit: Damn it! 71...

There were 71 bodies inside the truck found abandoned on an Austrian highway and officials found a Syrian travel document inside.

"We must assume now that these are refugees," Hans Peter Doskozil, police director of Austria's Burgenland region, said during a news conference Friday. "In concrete terms it is possible, this is a Syrian refugee group."

Four people have been arrested, including a Bulgarian national of Lebanese origin. The victims included 60 men, eight women and three children -- ages 2, 3, and 8.
