deeply saddened by the loss of 5 lives. why do such loss of lives always occur near christmas? oh God, why do such things happen? i'm feeling the saddness as if i had known them personally as a friend. why am i feeling so emotional? the heartwrenching news reports and photos in the papers are just so tear-invoking. not that i actually cried, but the emotions are welling up. the photos and description of the family members at the site of the accident, calling out for their loved ones, never to return, the surviving team members, experiencing the pain of knowing their friends and buddies died in front of them and yet unable to do anything to save them. had this experience last year. watching the life drain out of a living person and yet unable to do anything to help. its almost 1 year now. maybe i had not really gotten over it. maybe this incident triggered the inner emotions. maybe.. maybe.. maybe what? i do not know either. perception of life will no longer be the same again. the fragility of life....
