The law states that no one has the right to deprive others of their right to life, but there are always some people in the world who take risks and once test the bottom line of the law.
At 9 o'clock in the evening on March 1, 2018, a piece of news swept through the major domestic news media that more than 10 terrorists attacked passengers with knives at Kunming Railway Station in Yunnan Province, resulting in 29 innocent people killed and more than 100 people injured.
In the end, this incident was also identified as a violent terrorist attack, and I believe that at the time of this incident, no one would have imagined that such a public outrage would occur in China, and it was only after this incident that the Chinese people once again linked local security with terrorist attacks.
Coincidentally, under the influence of the new crown pneumonia last year, there have always been violent attacks in the United States, and even in the month of Biden's election, there was a vicious siege of the capital Washington, which makes people feel chilled.
Violent attacks have been around since ancient times, but they seem to be more common in today's highly developed world. Most of these terrorists have brutally killed innocent people for money, profit or religious reasons, which seriously threatens the safety of people's property.
The unarmed people are forced to accept this outcome, and every time we think about it, we can't help but think of the man who fell to his death in 911, and think about the choices he made at the end of his life, and want to bring those terrorists to justice.
Photos that shocked the world
I don't know if you have ever thought about the state of a person who committed suicide by jumping off a building during the landing period. There was once a photograph that showed people what it is like to be in the face of death in the face of death, a photograph taken by an AP photojournalist named Richard Drew at 9:41:15 on September 11, 2001.
In the photo, a man wearing a light yellow shirt and black trousers, his legs are slightly bent, and his body is slightly rickety, showing a relaxed and comfortable state falling outside a high-rise building.
The photo was later published in a magazine, and everyone who saw it couldn't help but feel sad and tears kept falling down their faces. Because they know what kind of circumstances this man chose to commit suicide.
Someone once said that choosing to commit suicide is a sign of extreme irresponsibility for one's own life, but the man's behavior in this photo was unexpectedly understood by everyone, because everyone would think that this is a choice made by people who respect life.
Some people may wonder what kind of events would make people think like this. In fact, it all started in the autumn of 2001.
The appalling 911 incident
At 8:46 a.m. on September 11, 2001, on an ordinary Tuesday, no American would have imagined that a hijacked civilian plane would crash into the North Tower of the World Trade Center at a speed of about 490 miles per hour, creating a huge man-made disaster.
On that morning, the 94th and 98th floors of the World Trade Center were destroyed, and the gases and smoke from the plane explosion spread rapidly, and the ensuing fire made it impossible for people to escape.
At first, the office workers here didn't understand what was going on, only that it was a fire, so they started to flee in all directions. However, what people didn't expect was that at 9:03, another civilian plane crashed into the South Tower of the World Trade Center, and at this time people began to realize the seriousness of the matter.
This was a man-made terrorist attack, and according to later investigation reports, 19 terrorists were involved in the hijacking, and they began to secretly plot the hijacking in the United States as early as April, and it was not until 11 September that they were realized.
Although all 19 terrorists died in this hijacking incident, how innocent they were to kill more than 3,000 people. And this incident is the appalling 9/11 incident in the United States, which makes people feel uneasy no matter how many years have passed.
A choice of last resort
The World Trade Center Twin Towers in the United States are famous as a worldwide landmark, with a total of 110 floors and a total height of more than 300 meters, where more than tens of thousands of ordinary people work every day. Therefore, it is also a well-known place for people to gather, and perhaps it is because of this that the terrorists chose this place for the final location of the hijacking.
At the first time of the accident, the people below the 94th floor of the North Tower and the 78th floor of the South Tower were quickly evacuated with the help of firefighters, but the people on the upper floors of the two towers were trapped in the high-rise buildings and could not go down, and the helicopters could not approach them. So they had to keep running to the top floor, during which they didn't know how many people died just by stampeding, but as the fire got bigger and bigger, more and more toxic gases were produced, and many people suffocated to death on the way to the top floor.
Later, the temperature gradually increased, and it also reached a point where the human body could not accept it, and many people who were paying attention to this matter outside found that many people chose to jump down because they couldn't stand the torture to end this pain.
Some couples jumped down hand in hand, and some jumped off the building alone, and the man in the photo was obviously one of these people, but he happened to be captured by reporters. It became the last photo of his life, and it also became an uncomfortable and unforgettable scene in the 9/11 incident.
Brief summary:
If they could live, who would want to die? In the 911 incident, those who jumped off the building probably all thought like this, seeing that the building was about to collapse, seeing that the hope of life was getting smaller and smaller, seeing that there was no way to call for help, rather than being tortured and being engulfed in the fire and dying, it was better to choose the way to die, at least at the end of life to regain a little ownership.
In fact, there are many events similar to 911 in the world, such as the Bali bombing, the Munich tragedy, the Oklahoma City bombing, the U.S. Embassy bombing, the Waco tragedy, the 2008 Mumbai attack, etc., every time such a terrorist attack occurs, the most injured are ordinary people, and the most losses are ordinary people.
Those devils in human skin, just for their own selfish desires, do such heinous things that are common to these people and gods, it is really not a pity to die. These terrorist attacks have also served as a wake-up call to strengthen safety management and first aid measures in daily life, so that when a terrorist attack unfortunately occurs, it will not cause more harm due to secondary disasters.
