The media making the most out of the tragedy in Amstetten

Here is an interesting example of how the media, after having exploited all the tragedy and gore, in order to get the very most out of the horror in Amstetten, will go so far as to add alternative dramatic endings; what if’s, rather than continue to report on Elisabeth Fritzl and her children’s relatively fortunate escape.

"VERY BAD AIR
- The air down there is very bad. We are investigating how he solved the problem of ventilation, says chief inspector Franz Polzer.
Franz Polzer confirms the information that Elisabeth Fritzl and maybe some of the older children were forced to help [with the construction work].
– Some of the building material was too heavy for him to move by himself.
Sometimes he could be gone for weeks, for example during his vacations to Thailand.
Josef Fritzl did not take measures to ensure that they would be saved in case he had a lethal accident outside of the basement. If this had happened, Elisabeth and her three children would have slowly starved to death. Their skeletons might never have been found".


This is translation of part of an article in Aftonbladet, written by Per-Ola Ohlsson.

Lovely Lady of La Leche, most loving mother of the Child Jesus, and my mother, listen to my humble prayer. Your motherly heart knows my every wish, my every need. To you only, His spotless Virgin Mother, has your Divine Son given to understand the sentiments which fill my soul. Yours was the sacred privilege of being the Mother of the Savior. Intercede with him now, my loving Mother, that, in accordance with His will, I may become the mother of other children of our heavenly Father. This I ask, O Lady of La Leche, in the Name of your Divine Son, My Lord and Redeemer. Amen.
