A tragedy that should not be forgotten |
|---|
|
I would not feel comfortable if I would send a new article or comment to our site without before making a reference to the tragic accident in South Korea, the host of our initiative. The sinking of the ferry, out of Donggeochado island, resulted to, as far as i know, two hundred sixty-eight people, mostly teens, drowned. Looking for other similar accidents http://www.mapreport.com/subtopics/d/ferry.accident.html#2013, I realize that all reports from wars, natural disasters, accidents, environmental disasters at the end of the day stay in our memory as numbers. Numbers of how big, how creepy, how catastrophic and finaly how many victims. Afterwards, since we are not directly affected, this is another story lost in the past. It is wrong. Every person lost is a personal tragedy, most of the times for a lifetime, for his/hers family, his/her close friends and all these people that he/her was beloved. Pls read the messages they interchanged http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/south-korea-ferry-disaster-texts-from-the-doomed-ship-1.2612734 after the accident and before the sinking I hope the rescue teams to continue working hard to save whoever is possible to be still alive. I personally give my deep condolences to the people who lost their own children, friends, relatives. Also to you Christy and all the Corean people. |

I feel really frustrated to learn that ship deviated from its route & met with this catastrophic accident. I'm following this tragedy very closely & would like to praise the Authorities to launch massive rescue operations instantly.
Shortly, cranes will arrive at the scene & try to upright the vessel. They are pumping air into the ship in an attempt to sustain any survivors.
I pray to God almighty for the safe being of the trapped children.
The personal loss of a teenager can be felt by an aggrieved parent only. May god bless them & the departed souls may rest in peace.
Amen.

It is very depressing to hear this unfortunate news.
I pray for trapped children & hope they are rescued soon.
It is heartbreaking to note the loss of so many young people who are aged 16 to 18 years of age. I offer my deep condolences to all South Korean parents who have lost their children.
