It may or may not happen again. Who knows. I really want a pit bull...but having three young children...I know better.

so that's becuase they were born a pit bull they were born with that in there brain?
What if it was a lab? or a poodle doing this? They are excused because it is not a pit? That theory just makes absolutely no sense. Any large breed is dangerous when that breed wants to be the Alpha dog.
If you know anything about dogs, which you obviously do not with the above programming comment about pits, then you would know that any terrier dog is very tenacious. This goes for anything from pit bull terrier, to Jack Russell Terrier. Once they are locked on to something they do not quit. Not because they are killing machines or because something snaps. This is because as a dog in general another dog will eventually want to dominate. Then put that together with a terrier it just makes it alot more brutal. Google Irish terrier and tell me that dog does not look like the sweetest thing in the world. Put two alpha males of that breed together and it will end up just as bad as a pit bull fight.
It's not the breeds fault. Most of the time its the owners fault for not taking the time to learn about the breed they are taking in. No offense to the original posted however the fact that you stated that anyone who has pitbulls should know that they get very aggressive during play is bad. Yes they are very strong and playful dogs but the problem is you are supposed to stop this sort of behavior. They should not be allowed to rough play or it can quickll escalate into a battle between the two dogs. Believe me I know. I own 2 pitbulls and a jack russell. My two pits have fought before and this was due to my decision to let them do too much such as tug of war games, leave toys out at all times, feed them together, etc.
