Tsunami greeted new year taking off 180,000 lives. We blamed lack of early warning.
Katrina gave enough of warnings. It still shook off US. Many times the area of 9/11, many times the 'damages', many times lives (damages are calculated by what it costs to insurance companies. Value of an un-insured life = 0). Bush orders an enquiry.
Sure, blacks have lives too. But they did not have cars to escape. No transportation arranged. Bad, I said. My French colleague corrected - No, its US.
Whatever, flesh that runs red blood carrying human souls.
Five plane crashes in one month. Black boxes yet to tell a story.
Typhoon Nabi, even with the strong warnings from Katrina could take off 18 lives. And enough 'damages'.
Acts of God. NY times reports that we felt safe with our technology. We should not have. Realise that. This year is an eye opener for a new era for the military. Rescue operations. Let us stop wars. Dont worry military will be out of job. We have all these around to keep them busy. All the trainings they are given proves useful.
And, silently, in Niger, there are thousands dying of hunger.
