I was sitting at Sydney airport going to Melbourne at 8pm. The TV flashed out a breaking news where a massive earthquake of 8.6 ritcher scale has hit Bandar Aceh in Indonesia. The scene on the TV showing communities there were panicking and running out of the building. However, it seems there were more prepared. A big alert was sent out to other regions nearby and everyone evacuated accordingly too. It was a very well coordinated effort.
There were scenes where a group of women crying and her body was visibly shaken. Some were crying up as there weren't sure how to react to the situation. Some was seen praying as their only hope to survive. Moment like this I asked myself, is fame, fortune and status matters. When facing with an inevitable situation, we all may ended up in the same boat. I think we may not even have time to argue who is in a better position to survive. What we can only count on is what legacy we may have left behind. Let's hope the regions able to cope with this earthquake and tsunami. Also, I hope this play as a reminder to all of us that we become a better person towards each other.
