Oops, we missed our turn.

Zero sympathy all round, I'm afraid.
A bit harsh, no? Some poor fellow looks the wrong way and steps in front of a moving bus and my first thought is not "zero sympathy."

Escort may have scarpered -- if so, they should be up on charges. Certainly their performance must be evaluated.

Mistakes happen in tense situations -- you keep working to minimize same.

Do those involved share some degree of culpability in the reported deaths? Yes. However, neither the drivers nor the escort were trying to kill members of the convoy. They are even less "at fault" then had they made a mistake which precipitated a fatal accident.
