I was filling some stuff when there was a 'PA' announcement:
"Good day everyone. This is just to inform you that a recent inspection has confirm that the the building is safe. You can now go back to work"
Everyone had already gone back to work as usual this morning. It's not like we were asked to stay at home and wait for the green light to return to work.
Another observation...
I keep seeing pictures and clips of evacuated people standing AROUND the buildings they were evacuating. I'm thinking:
1. IF the building DID collapse...what's gonna happen to them?
2. IF they were so confidant that it wasn't gonna collapse..then why evacuate in the first place?
One could say that it's better than nothing. But I'm like, we play to win people. If you wanna evacuate, do a proper one please and leave no room for error. Lives are at stake.
They did a fantastic move by letting go all of the hostages.
From now on, they have a history of actually keeping their end of the bargain.
Governments will have problems now, especially since the people they govern will only be interested in the short term solution: the lives of the kidnapped. The long term effects of giving in to what terrorists want will be put aside for the sake of saving a few lives.
It's a cold reality my dear friends. Everyone's future or your kids' lives.
