The girl who died being burnt alive in her MYvi........has a great impact on me.......
It reminds me of my own experience when I was in my first year of uni........ That sense of helplessness, knowing that you might die in a ball of fire, with people surrounding you and yet no one dares or knows how to help you.
It is really due to the grace of God that I'm still alive today.......
At that time, I was on a taxi going back to KL when the accident happened in the dark at 6:30 a.m in the morning...... It knocked into a tractor which had no lights on and started spinning non-stop on the road..... We were all screaming without knowing what had happened as it was so dark and there were no street lights on that stretch of road. When it stopped, everyone began dashing out of the vehicle, except for me......because my legs were pinned due to the impact of the crash on my side. I could see smoke billowing from the engine and I could hear someone yelling, "Quick...... get away from the car as soon as possible......" I struggled to free myself, but to no avail. I was in a state of panic which made me 'disabled' at that moment, not even having the strength to shout......In my heart, I was crying out to God:"Please save me..... I don't want to die in this way......" I turned my head, trying to see where the rest were. As the sun began to rise, I could see they were all a safe distance away from the taxi which made me even scared.......Smoke was still coming out from the engine and in my heart, I was thinking: I'm dead meat this time.... barbecued style......
Yet I thank God, nothing happened and when the taxi driver and some passers-by were sure that it was safe, they came back to me and helped to pull me out from the wreckage. At that time, I pulled and tugged at my legs so hard that I thought it was going to break....... I remembered telling those people: 'Even if my legs are broken or have to be amputated, you all have to get me out from here....... In the end, I managed to free myself with their help and ended up sobbing like a baby at the side of the road........
Therefore, when I read the news about how this girl died, it affected me so much that I couldn't sleep throughout the night..... Imagine her fear before dying and the feelings of anguish and helplessness even though there were so many passers-by who stopped by trying to help. It pains my heart and the pain is indescribable.......
R.I.P to this girl..........though I might not know who you are........
