Greetings everyone. Today's posting is going to be a bit of a somber one. There was just so much tragic stuff going on, that I felt I had to report on it. So without further ado...
-Early Wed morning a suicidal driver attempted to take his own life by parking his SUV in the path of a oncoming train in Glendale. At last minute, the man decides he'd rather live and attempts to move his car off the track. His car however, was stuck and instead the man got out of his vehicle and watched as the most horrific train wreck in LA County history unfolded before him. A train wreck, that when all was said and done, involved THREE trains, killed 11 (so far) and injured at least 200. Seeing the mass carnage and devastation, its a miracle there weren't more killed in this accident. The driver of the SUV is now being held and charged with 11 counts of murder. He is also on suicide watch, as he (Before the train accident) had already tried to commit suicide twice. Once by cutting his wrists and once by stabbing himself. I hope you join me in sending your thoughts and prayers to everyone who was involved in this tragic accident.
-This event just shows you how fragile life can be. And how we really dont control our fates as much as we think we do. Think about it. Two trains full of commuters on their way to work, just like any other day. Then a depressed, suicidal driver (Who is in no way, shape or form connected to the passengers of the train) enters their lives and changes it forever. This guy wanted to take his own life, but instead he ended up taking the lives of innocent people. For the mistake of one person, countless others have paid the price.
-I hate to be so depressing, but I did start this blog as a way of reporting my views on current events. So I have to talk about another tragic event. This one in Iraq where it seems tragedy strikes everyday. A helicopter carrying 31 U.S. Marines crashed killing all passengers on board. Its by far the deadliest accident, thus far in this war. The initial report is that the helicopter went down in a sandstorm and not because of enemy fire. The crash is still under investigation. I would like to once again ask you to join me in sending your condolonces to the families of those soldiers and to all our brave men and women fighting in Iraq.
I will end this posting here, because I dont want to take any attention away from these two events. Stay tuned for more postings the remainder of the week. Signing off....
