I've listenting to the News Conference on the Amish school house shooting(periodically updated by status of the Tukish Airline HiJacking in Italy) - and an interesting item was relayed:
The injured children were med-eaved to various hospitals (Philadelphia, New Castle, Delaware, etc) all well of Amish horse & buggy range. The inability to get family members to the hospitals delayed identification of the victims. (And, it seems, prevented at least one family from being bedside when their daughter died.)
