1st time at a scene of fatal accident

Last Sunday, around 315pm after buying some things from servay Hypermarket i was driving towards Lutong when i saw what seemd like a scene of an accident. immediately, i wanted to take my camera - but of all the days, i did not bring my camera along with me at that moment. So i slowed down and being a curious person, i decided to park and see. I guessed the accident just happened because i noticed there were not many people gathered yet and many were just starting to park their cars coming out. The car, a dark brown Proton Wira, looked quite bad, and i notice that there was smoke coming out from the engine. And there was no one near the car - people all seem to be standing far away. i though either the driver is already out, or the people are afraid that the car will explode any time. So i decided to watch from the car. But when i saw a man getting close to the car, i decided to come down and go and see for myself the accident, and who know i can be of help there. A group of us men walked towards the car, and to my surprise, the driver of the ill-fated car was badly pinned. He had a big tattoo on his arm. His face was actually stuck to the tree-bark, and the dashboard was pushed to the front passenger seat. There was blood from his ears. I didn't dare to look more. I guess the driver must have already died by then looking at the condition of the crash (i told myself that it would require a miracle for him to survive the crash). Although the car engine was still running (in fact it was still raving), and smoke was coming out from the engine and the exhaust, we decided to pull the car away from the tree to free the driver's head. One guy suggested to take out his body, but i said we should wait for the Bomba. Earlier i tried calling the police and bomba - the police already knew about the accident, but the Bomba, no one answered. After that, i decided to leave the scene, since i could not do anything anymore. As i left, the police and ambulance came. That was my first time being at a scene of a fatal accident, and i was quite shaken. That night, i kept on thinking about the driver.....so kesian.

p.s. The next day's papers carried the story, and it was confirmed that the driver died on the spot. O Lord, have mercy on his soul.

RIP Crocodile Hunter

Steve Irwin aka Crocodile hunter has died - after being stung on the chest by a sting ray while filming a documentary. A number of people find it ironic that a 'crocodile hunter' was killed by a sting ray. A few months ago (or was it last year) I heard a rumor that he died. And now for sure, he is (considering the reports of his death all over).

I always enjoyed his shows! With his Aussie accent and the way he tomes his voice, he makes wildlife shows very lively - it makes me feel as though i am part of the show :)

Deepest condolence to his family and may he rest in peace.
